How to do “insert if not exist else update” with mongoengine?

Question

I\'m working with mongoengine in Django,
this is my document defination:

class Location(mongoengine.Document):  
    user_id = mongoengine.IntField(req         


        

Answer 1

Note that get_or_create is now scheduled to be deprecated, because with no transaction support in MongoDB it cannot ensure atomicity.

The preferred way is update with upsert:

Location.objects(user_id=user_id).update_one(set__point=point, upsert=True)

More on upserts on the MongoDB documentation.
