Rails - find or create - is there a find or build?

Ruby on-Rails

Ruby on-Rails Problem Overview

I'm currently using:

XXX.find_or_create_by_uuid(XXXX)

Is there a way to do find or build?

Ruby on-Rails Solutions

Solution 1 - Ruby on-Rails

Try XXX.find_or_initialize_by_uuid(XXXX)

Solution 2 - Ruby on-Rails

Since Rails 4 this is XXX.find_or_initialize_by(uuid: XXXX)

Solution 3 - Ruby on-Rails

In case you want to make your own (Rails 5):

class ApplicationRecord < ActiveRecord::Base

  def self.find_or_build_by hash
    result = all.where(hash)
    result.present? ? result : none.build(hash)
  end
end
