[v5] Using firstOrCreate() - how to tell if record was found or created?

[e-e]

Is there a way to determine if a model was just created or if an existing record was returned when using Model.firstOrCreate()?

[thetutlage]

Yup, using the $isLocal property

const user = await User.firstOrCreate(search, payload)

if (user.$isLocal) {
  // no rows found in db. Hence a new one is created
} else {
  // existing db row
}
