collection.bulkWrite()¶

Bulk insert/update/delete multiple documents in a single collection with one call. Within the bulkWrite() function, you can specify one or more of the following write operations:

insertOne
updateOne
updateMany
deleteOne
deleteMany
replaceOne

Note

The bulkWrite() function operates on a single collection.

Usage¶

Example¶

To call the collection.bulkWrite() action from a Function, get a collection handle with database.collection() then call the handle's bulkWrite() function.

exports = async function(arg){
    const doc1 = { "name": "velvet elvis", "quantity": 20, "reviews": [] };
    const doc2 = { "name": "mock turtleneck",  "quantity": 30, "reviews": [] };
    var collection = context.services.get("mongodb-atlas")
        .db("store")
        .collection("purchases");
    return await collection.bulkWrite(
        [{ insertOne: doc1}, { insertOne: doc2}],
        {ordered:true});
};

Parameters¶

The collection.bulkWrite() action has the following form:

bulkWrite(operations, options)

Parameter

Description

operations

An array of bulkWrite operations to perform. Examples of supported operations include the following:

{ insertOne: { document: { a: 1 } } }
{ updateOne: { filter: {a:2}, update: {$set: {a:2}}, upsert:true } }
{ updateMany: { filter: {a:2}, update: {$set: {a:2}}, upsert:true } }
{ deleteOne: { filter: {c:1} } }
{ deleteMany: { filter: {c:1} } }
{ replaceOne: { filter: {c:3}, replacement: {c:4}, upsert:true}}

options

Optional. An object that specifies the optional settings. Valid options are:

Option	Type	Description
ordered	boolean (default = true)	Execute write operation in ordered or unordered fashion. By default, Atlas executes bulk write operations one at a time in the specified order (i.e. serially). During an ordered bulk write, if an error occurs during the processing of an operation, Atlas returns without processing the remaining operations in the list. In contrast, when ordered is false, MongoDB continues to process remaining write operations in the list. Unordered operations are theoretically faster since MongoDB can execute them in parallel, but should only be used if the writes do not depend on order.
bypassDocumentValidation	boolean (default = false)	Allow the driver to bypass schema validation
session	client session	optional session to use for this operation

Return Value¶

The collection.bulkWrite() function returns a Promise that resolves to null.
