get .findOrCreate() error

Question

I\'m using Sequelize as ORM. Here\'s my user model:

###
    User model
###
User = exports.User =  globals.sequelize.define \"User\",
    usernam         


        

Answer 1

sequelize will pass the error as the paramater to the error function.

JavaScript:

User.findOrCreate({username: "johny",password: "pass",email: "johny93[###]example.com"})
.success(function(user, created){
    console.log(user.values);
    res.send(200);
})
.error(function(err){
   console.log('Error occured' + err);
})

CoffeScript:

globals.models.User.findOrCreate
    username: "johny"
    password: "pass"
    email: "johny93[###]example.com"
.success (user, created)->
    console.log user.values
    res.send 200
.error (error)->
    console.log error # how to catch this?
    res.send 502

Answer 2

Sequelize 2.0 changes syntax and would now be

User.findOrCreate({
  where: {
    username: 'johny',
    password: 'pass',
    email: 'johny93[###]example.com'
  }
}).then(function (user) {
  res.send(200);
}).catch(function (err) {
  console.log(err);
  res.send(502);
});

Answer 3

 User.findOrCreate({
  where: {
    username: "johny",
    password: "pass",
    email: "johny93[###]example.com"
  },
  defaults: {
    //properties to be created 
  }
}).then(function(user){
  var created = user[1];
  user = user[0];
  console.log(user.values);
}).fail(function(err){
   console.log('Error occured', err);
});

EDIT: as @Domi pointed out, better way is to use 'spread' instead of 'then'

User.findOrCreate({
  where: {
    username: "johny",
    password: "pass",
    email: "johny93[###]example.com"
  },
  defaults: {
    //properties to be created 
  }
}).spread(function(user, created){
  console.log(user.values);
}).fail(function(err){
   console.log('Error occured', err);
});
