Question

I have a system that occasionally spits out 2 objects. Is there any magic to create! that would allow it to create two objects? E.G. if I say

self.class.create! make_up_attributes

and make_up_attributes passes a 2 item hash, can this create 2 objects of type self?

(note, create is probably an ActiveRecord method, in Rails)

Answer 1

Yep, simply pass in an Array of attribute hashes, like so:

self.class.create!([{:name => "John", :age => 26},
                    {:name => "Fred", :age => 50}])

See the docs
