Inserting Data With Default Values

[Zenthae]

https://next.vuex-orm.org/guide/repository/inserting-data.html#inserting-data-with-default-values

The new method will create a record with all fields filled with default values defined in the model.

const user = store.$repo(User).new()

// { id: '$uid1', name: '' }

that's what's written on the doc, but the new() method doesn't exist in practice ? so how i'm supposed to add data ?

this.$store.$repo(User).insert(new User()); ? that's what i'm using at the moment, but i'm not sure if it's the right way to do it

Ah yea, this was replaced with $repo(User).make()

Correct. This method appears to be missing.

Docs need updating! Thanks for spotting this.

[Zenthae]

@cuebit you haven't told me what should i use to do the same though. is there a way ?

@Zenthae It might not be suitable solution but you must at least give 1 default field value. Like insert({ name: '' }).

Or should we create a record if users pass in an empty object 🤔 ?

[cuebit]

Sorry, I was meant to respond to this but found a bug where add was actually doing exactly what @Zenthae was asking about when it shouldn't of been! That's been resolved by #58 since.

@kiaking this needs to be implemented right? I don't think a query method currently exists to support this.

[kiaking]

@cuebit Yap it should! But, just wondering if it might make sense to actually create a new record when passing in empty object {}. It does the same thing as new method, but, it might make sense.

Either way I think having new method make sense as an API. Easier to understand so 👀

[cuebit]

True. But then there has to be the uid attribute caveat in the docs for all the persist methods 😂 maybe new is a safe bet.

[kiaking]

Ah very good point. Yeah lets go with new method only for now 😆

[Zenthae]

any news on this ?

[cuebit]

Should have a PR by the end of the week 👍
