Alternately, we can also use the `createOrFirst` method, which will attempt to create a new record in the database first. If that fails because a unique index prevents duplicate values, the existing model will be returned.

```php
// We try to create a new flight with the below number and name first.
// If that number already exists and has a unique index, the existing flight with that number will be returned.
$flight = Flight::createOrFirst(
['number' => 'AA1234'],
['name' => 'Chicago to Vancouver']
);
```
