## Description
|

|
|
<section id='description'>

|
|
Sometimes you need to create many instances of your models, e.g. when seeding a database with initial data. Model.create() takes an array of objects like [{name: 'John', ...}, {...}, ...] as the first argument, and saves them all in the db. Create many people with Model.create(), using the function argument arrayOfPeople.
