Class Method Details

.uniq_find_or_create_by(attributes, &block) ⇒ Object

Use this method to find or create records that have uniqueness constraints enforced by the database. After calling the AR find_or_create_by method it queries the preexisting or created record by the attributes provided, thereby ensuring that a concurrently created record is returned when a AR RecordNotUnique error is raised. When no record can be found, because for instance validations fail on create, the created object containing the validation errors is returned instead.

.uniq_find_or_create_by!(attributes, &block) ⇒ Object

Use this method if you want an exception to be raised when creating a new record fails due to some validation error other than uniqueness.
