replace method

Future<bool> replace(Insertable<$Dataclass> entity)

Replaces the old version of entity that is stored in the database with the fields of the entity provided here. This implicitly applies a filter clause to rows with the same primary key as entity, so that only the row representing outdated data will be replaced.

If entity has absent values (set to null on the DataClass or explicitly to absent on the UpdateCompanion), and a default value for the field exists, that default value will be used. Otherwise, the field will be reset to null. This behavior is different to update, which simply ignores such fields without changing them in the database.

Returns true if a row was affected by this operation.

Implementation

Future<bool> replace(Insertable<$Dataclass> entity) {
  return $state.db.update($state._tableAsTableInfo).replace(entity);
}
