Description

Sometimes you need to create many instances of your models, e.g. when seeding a database with initial data. Model.create() takes an array of objects like [{name: 'John', ...}, {...}, ...] as the first argument, and saves them all in the db.

Instructions

Modify the createManyPeople function to create many people using Model.create() with the argument arrayOfPeople. Note: You can reuse the model you instantiated in the previous exercise.

Tests

tests:
  - text: Creating many db items at once should succeed
    testString: 'getUserInput => $.ajax({url: getUserInput(''url'') + ''/_api/create-many-people'', type: ''POST'', contentType:''application/json'', data: JSON.stringify([{name: ''John'', age: 24, favoriteFoods: [''pizza'', ''salad'']}, {name: ''Mary'', age: 21, favoriteFoods: [''onions'', ''chicken'']}])}).then(data => { assert.isArray(data, ''the response should be an array''); assert.equal(data.length, 2, ''the response does not contain the expected number of items''); assert.equal(data[0].name, ''John'', ''The first item is not correct''); assert.equal(data[0].__v, 0, ''The first item should be not previously edited''); assert.equal(data[1].name, ''Mary'', ''The second item is not correct''); assert.equal(data[1].__v, 0, ''The second item should be not previously edited''); }, xhr => { throw new Error(xhr.responseText); })'
