MongoDB driver for Kotlin (coroutines) • opensavvy.ktmongo.coroutines.operations • UpdateOperations • repsertOne

repsertOne¶

abstract suspend fun repsertOne(options: <Document>.() -> Unit = {}, filter: <Document>.() -> Unit = {}, document: Document)

Replaces a document that matches filter by document.

If multiple documents match filter, only the first one found is updated.

If no documents match filter, document is inserted.

Data races¶

This operator is often used by first reading a document, processing it, and replacing it. This can be dangerous in distributed systems because another replica of the server could have updated the document between the read and the write.

If this is a concern, it is recommended to use updateOne with explicit operators on the data that has changed, allowing to do the modification in a single operation. Doing the update that way, MongoDB is responsible for ensuring the read and the write are atomic.

Example¶

class User(
    val name: String,
    val age: Int,
)

collection.repsertOne(
    filter = {
        User::name eq "Patrick"
    },
    document = User("Bob", 15)
)

Using filtered collections¶

The following code is equivalent:

collection.filter {
    User::name eq "Patrick"
}.repsertOne(User("Patrick", 15))
