Update is not creating a new one and throwing an error

[umutzd]

I use update to add/update to sync a bulk of documents in a collection. But it throws an error:

Error: Trying to update unsynced document. Please save the document first by using insert() or addMany()

I get a huge data and assign this data to a specific collection. I use collection.update() method to do this. Problem is, if not found, is not creating a new one. Is there a way to do this? Or is there a known workaround?

If your docs have not yet been inserted into loki database and do not have a $loki id, you need to insert them first.

Loki does not (yet?) have upserts but this has been requested in #158. I suppose any upsert functionality (in LokiJS or LokiJS2) could allow keying off $loki or unique indices.
