Hi Michael,

You can save/update only one entity at a time with one call to dataStore.save. If you want to update multiple entities at once, you can use 'For' loop. Check following code snippet:

                let dataStore = DataStore<Book>.collection(.network)

                let book0 = Book()
                book0.authorName = "a1"
                book0.pages = 1
                book0.title = "t1"

                let book1 = Book()
                book1.authorName = "a2"
                book1.pages = 2
                book1.title = "t2"

                let book2 = Book()
                book2.authorName = "a3"
                book2.pages = 3
                book2.title = "t3"
           
                var array = [book0,book1,book2];
               
                for i in 0...2 {
                   
                    let book = array[i]
                   
                    dataStore.save(book, options: nil) { (result: Result<Book, Swift.Error>) in
                        switch result {
                        case .success(let book):
                            print("Book: \(book)")
                        case .failure(let error):
                            print("Error: \(error)")
                        }
                    }
                }

If you have a JSON or CSV file of data records, you can import that data into the collection using 'Import' feature. Go to your collection-> Settings-> Import.

Michael,

Now you are using '.cache' datastore. Please take a look at the example mentioned on this link. It says while saving an entity, the entity will be saved to the device and your backend. If you do not have a network connection, the entity will be stored locally. You will need to push it to the server when network reconnects, using dataStore.push().

Please ignore my suggestion about using 'For' loop as it is Swift code. Regarding your question about 'Buld Update', it is not supported. In a single request, you can save/update only one entity at a time. For 'Bulk Upload'/'Bulk Saving', see the CSV/JSON import feature on the Kinvey console (navigate to the collection, click Settings, then click Import Data). Bulk update is not supported. You can fetch and delete multiple entities in a single request using a query.

Thanks,

Pranav
