Gorm: no insert or update support?

[hpsoar]

what is the right way to do existence checking before insert ?

query the record and insert if no such record?

seems no insert or update support.

and the NewRecord method doesn't work as expected.

p := &Product{name: "hello"} // name is the primary key

NewRecord will return true even no such record in database.

BR.

I think the .Save() method has this semantics. If you save an existing object, it is getting updated. If you save a new object it is going to be creating.

Please test your self, I might be wrong, just remember from my last project.

I have some code like:

func (s PluginStore) CreateOrUpdate(plugin *model.Plugin) error {
    err := s.db.Save(plugin).Error
    return err
}

Yes, you're right!
Thank you!
