DeleteRange function in ASP.NET Boilerplate

Question

How can I delete a list of entities, without using a loop, in ASP.NET Boilerplate MVC?

Currently, I use:

foreach (var data in sampleDataList)
{
    _iRepositorySampleData.Delete(data);
}

But I don't want to use a loop to delete multiple entities.

ASP.NET Boilerplate's IRepository does not provide RemoveRange out-of-the-box as:

ASP.NET Boilerplate is designed to be independent from a particular ORM (Object/Relational Mapping) framework or another technique to access a database.¹

Feature requests in the backlog:

• IRepository.BulkInsert #648
• Repository methods for multiple entities #1021

At the moment, there is not much going for it as it's already possible, so there is little value added.

EF Core

// using Abp.EntityFrameworkCore.Repositories;

repository.GetDbContext().RemoveRange(sampleDataList);

EF6

// using Abp.EntityFramework.Repositories;

var type = sampleDataList.GetType().GetGenericArguments().Single();
repository.GetDbContext().Set(type).RemoveRange(sampleDataList);
