  {
	"question": {
		"left": ["question1", "subQuestion1"],

Must be enabled from settings. In the code fc object is available with two methods:

• addCard(flashcard); - Adds a card, if it is not valid performs an exception.
• commit(); - Must be called after all cards have been added.

```quizjs

for(let i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
	fc.addCard({
		question: {
			left: [`question${i}`],
			right: [`answer${i}`]
		},
		pool: "testPool2",
		tags: [`exampleTag${i}`]
	});
}

fc.commit();
```
