A : In Sequelize, you can achieve the functionality of updating a row if it exists, or inserting a new row if it doesn't exist, using the findOrCreate() method. This method searches for a matching row based on certain criteria and creates a new one if it doesn't exist. If a matching row is found, it can update that row instead.const { Sequelize, DataTypes } = require('sequelize');const sequelize = new Sequelize('database', 'username', 'password', { host: 'localhost', dialect: 'mysql' });const YourModel = sequelize.define('YourModel', {id: { type: DataTypes.INTEGER, primaryKey: true, autoIncrement: true },name: { type: DataTypes.STRING, allowNull: false }, });async function updateOrInsert(dataToUpdateOrInsert) {try {const [row, created] = await YourModel.findOrCreate({where: { id: dataToUpdateOrInsert.id },defaults: dataToUpdateOrInsert });if (!created) {YourModel.update(dataToUpdateOrInsert, {where: { id: dataToUpdateOrInsert.id }});}console.log('Operation successful!');} catch (error) { console.error('Error:', error); } }updateOrInsert({ id: 1, name: 'Updated Name' });In this example:
findOrCreate() searches for a row based on the specified criteria (in this case, id) and returns the row if found along with a boolean flag indicating whether the row was created or not.</li>
<li>If the row is found (created is false), update() method is called to update the row with the new data.</li>
<li>If the row is not found (created is true), a new row is created with the specified data (dataToUpdateOrInsert).</li>
</ul>
