Insert Multiple Documents

This version of the documentation is archived and no longer supported. View the current documentation to learn how to upgrade your version of the Node.js driver.

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 additional 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 to a value that would violate unique index rules will throw a duplicate key error.
