Is there a sea-orm equivalent to findOrCreate? How else would I do this? (programming.dev)

in sequelize (javascript) it's pretty straightforward to either find a record, or create it if it doesn't exist. I don't see anything similar with sea-orm. There's a 'save' method that seems to insert or update, but I need to know details about the record ahead of time :/

Any ideas?

That's true, but also trying to create first has a race condition too. The above code will panic at the unwrap if the record is deleted after the failed insert, and before the select

So, a loop it is....
