ActiveRecord create: pass in an array of attributes

Question

I would like to know if there is a Rails way to create multiple records by passing in an array of attributes.

For instance, instead of

MyModel.create         


        

Answer 1

According the documentation you can create records from an array of hashes:

The attributes parameter can be either be a Hash or an Array of Hashes. These Hashes describe the attributes on the objects that are to be created.

 MyModel.create([{attr_1: some_attr, attr_2: 4}, {attr_1: some_attr, attr_2: 5}])
