Meteor minimongo: Insert and Remove in bulk using an array
/*
These two functions provide a simple extra minimongo functionality to add and remove documents in bulk,
without unnecessary re-renders.
The process is simple. It will add the documents to the collections "_map" and only the last item will be inserted properly
to cause reactive dependencies to re-run.
*/

/*
Inserts documents in bulk.
@method insertBulk
@param {Object} collection the collection to insert
@param {Array} documents an array with documents
@return {Array} with the ids
*/
Models.insertBulk = function(collection, documents){
if(collection) {
return _.compact(_.map(documents, function(item){
if(_.isObject(item)) {
var _id = collection._makeNewID();
// insert with reactivity only on the last item
if(_.last(documents) === item)
_id = collection.insert(item);
// insert without reactivity
else {
item._id = _id;
collection._collection._docs._map[_id] = item;
}
return _id;
}
}));
}
},
/*
Removes documents in bulk.
@method removeBulk
@param {Object} collection the collection to remove from
@param {Object} query the query to find items
@return {Undefined}

Models.removeBulk = function(collection, query){

var documents = collection.find(query).fetch();
// clean items
_.each(documents, function(item){
// insert with reactivity only on the last item
if(_.last(documents) === item)
collection.remove(item._id);
// insert without reactivity
else
delete _collection_collection._docs._map[item._id];
});

Hello Frozeman - I tried this but it didn't work. Not unexcpected only the last insert is truly saved to the database.
