DataMapper: Create new record or update existing
- by John Topley
Does DataMapper provide a convenient way to create a new record when none exists or update an existing one? I couldn't find anything in the API documentation.
This is what I have at the moment which doesn't seem very elegant:
foo = Foo.get(id)
if foo.nil?
foo = Foo.create(#attributes...)
else
foo.update(#attributes...)
end
foo.save
