Understanding the Change in Mongoose insertMany() Method

If you are using Mongoose for interacting with a MongoDB database, you might have recently encountered a change in behavior in version 7.0.0 and later. Specifically, the callback functionality that was previously available in the Model.insertMany() method has been deprecated. This change can lead to confusion, especially for those who are relying on callbacks for handling asynchronous operations.

In this guide, we will explore this change and help you smoothly transition to using promises in Mongoose for database operations.

The Problem: Callback Removal in insertMany()

You may have noticed the error message in your console when trying to use a callback with Model.insertMany(), as shown below:

This change means you’ll need to adopt a different pattern for handling the results of the insertMany() call. The traditional way of writing code with callbacks is no longer supported, which leads developers to search for alternatives.

The Solution: Leveraging Promises

Although the removal of the callback can be frustrating, Mongoose provides an elegant promise-based alternative that achieves the same goal. Instead of using a callback, you can utilize .then() and .catch() methods to handle success and error scenarios.

Here’s How You Can Adjust Your Code

If your original code looked like this:

You would instead modify it to:

Breaking It Down

Remove the Callback: Remove the function that was being passed to insertMany() as a callback.

Use .then(): Follow the insertMany function with a .then() method. This method will run when the operation is successful.

Use .catch(): Use the .catch() method directly following the .then(). This will handle any errors that may arise during the insertion process.

Benefits of This Change

Cleaner Code: Promise-based syntax is cleaner and improves readability in asynchronous code.

Error Handling: Using catch for error handling allows you to manage exceptions gracefully without deeply nested callbacks.

Chainability: The promise structure allows for further chaining of methods, which can be useful for more complex operations.

Conclusion

Transitioning from callbacks to promises can enhance the way you handle asynchronous operations in JavaScript and Mongoose. By adopting the new pattern for the insertMany() method, you’ll ensure your application remains functional and up-to-date with the latest version of Mongoose.

Always keep an eye on release notes and documentation for libraries you are using to stay informed about such changes. Happy coding!
