Interoperability with Rails 6.0 `insert_all`?

[nimmolo]

Hi @alejandrodevs - thanks for this gem! I found it by looking for a backport of the Rails 6 bulk insert function insert_all.

It seems like it uses the same syntax, is that correct? I ask because i'm wondering, if I use it in a Rails 5.2 project that one day gets updated to Rails 6, are there any changes i should think about?

Hi @nimmolo. I think that if you are using this gem in a basic way there is not major changes because both accept Array of Hashes as the first argument. They support different options in the second argument, for example insert_all supports the unique_by option and mass_insert supports primary_key, per_batch and handle_duplication options.

If you are not using these options, switching between gems should be very simple. Even using the options, I think it shouldn't be that hard. What I recommend you is to create your own class/module and wrap mass_insert gem functionality and in the future when you upgrade rails you will just need to change that class/module.

Hi Alejandro, Thanks, that sounds good. If you like, I can submit a PR to add that to the docs... might be useful for others.
