Bulk create data

[gfelot]

What is the expected behavior?
Be able to POST an Array of a "Content type" and add multiple records of a specific data

If I have time I can look at the code and understand how I can add a addBulk method to the \services with a PR.

• I'm sure that this issue hasn't already been referenced.

Please do, I've noticed the same that you can only post 1 record at a time.

I never do a PR yet and I have to get dirty by putting hands in the code. I kinda newbie so I just join the Slack to see if someone would like to take time soon to lead me on understanding the script to generate Content and to push a PR ;)

@gfelot Don't be afraid to make a PR, we will be glad to help you and answer your questions. Here the link to the contributing guide to get started.

You will certainly have to edit these files (especially the add action):

• https://github.com/strapi/strapi/blob/master/packages/strapi-generate-api/templates/mongoose/service.template
• https://github.com/strapi/strapi/blob/master/packages/strapi-generate-api/templates/bookshelf/service.template

Things to care about:

• Make sure the API still support one record at a time.
• Check in the documentation of the ORMs (Mongoose & Bookshelf), if there is a specific method to add multiples entries at once.

@gfelot any update on a PR? This sure would be a great addition. (Also trying to see if we can close out old issues)

[gfelot]

Sorry lately I didn't have time to share on a OS Project.
If someone wants to take the lead go head, if nobody can I will try my best in few weeks.
