Insert Multiple Documents

You can insert multiple documents using the collection.insertMany() method. The insertMany() takes an array of documents to insert into the specified collection.

You can specify more options in the options object passed as the second parameter of the insertMany() method. Specify ordered:true to prevent inserting the remaining documents if the insertion failed for a previous document in the array.

Specifying incorrect parameters for your insertMany() operation can cause problems. Attempting to insert a field with a value that violates unique index rules results in a duplicate key error.

Note

You can use this example to connect to an instance of MongoDB and interact with a database that contains sample data. To learn more about connecting to your MongoDB instance and loading a sample dataset, see the Usage Examples guide.
