check if there is already exist document with that user id in the database

try to find document where userID is the id which was mentioned and if there is such data just don't add it again

[grizzled tusk]

yeah but I cannot always check the database

I want it to reply with a message eg. this user already exists in db

[languid bane]

store the data in cache then

to quickly check without doing query search

[languid bane]

1. get the user id from the message containing mention
2. check the database/cache for data where the user is already exists
3. if there is such data reply with 'the user is already exists' otherwise create data with that user

Why?

<schema>.findOne({userID: user?.id}) will return null if no document

Or you can always use findOneAndUpdate

oh that's what I were looking for

I made sth like this

    let user1 = await UserData.findOne({ userID: user});
      if (user1) {
        message.channel.send("User Already Exists")
      }

thx @dusky umbra

let userId = message.mentions.members.first().id ?? message.guild.members.cache.get(args[0]);
let userData = await UserData.findOne({ userID: userId });

if (userData) {
  message.channel.send("User Already Exists")
}

else {
  ... create the data
}
