Add multiple rows google-spreadsheet npm

Question

I am using this npm google-spreadsheet to manipulate the google spreadsheets but I don't found any method to add multiple rows at once like Google sheet Api is already providing.

I have already used .addRow() method but to add multiple rows I need to run a loop which is inefficient. Is anyone here who faced similar problem and solve it using this npm only.

How about just getting the rows and editing them and doing bulk save.

function workingWithCells(step) {
    sheet.getCells({
      'min-row': 1,
      'max-row': 5,
      'return-empty': true
    }, function(err, cells) {
      var cell = cells[0];
      console.log('Cell R'+cell.row+'C'+cell.col+' = '+cell.value);

      // cells have a value, numericValue, and formula
      cell.value == '1'
      cell.numericValue == 1;
      cell.formula == '=ROW()';

      // updating `value` is "smart" and generally handles things for you
      cell.value = 123;
      cell.value = '=A1+B2'
      cell.save(); //async

      // bulk updates make it easy to update many cells at once
      cells[0].value = 1;
      cells[1].value = 2;
      cells[2].formula = '=A1+B1';
      sheet.bulkUpdateCells(cells); //async

      step();
    });
  },

Does this works for you.
