when adding many records to a one to many relation I found that I had to use one of two methods
but each of them, execute count($models) queries
I found that I had to use the query builder insert method which takes an array of arrays and executes a single query but then I have to explicitly attach the foreign key first
so I thought what if there is a like (make) function but make a collection of instances instead of a single one and every instance has the parent id attached to it under the hood.
I used it in my project as a macro but I thought it could be useful.
