How to update a model with Sails JS

Question

Ok, I've got the following in one of my controllers:

User.find({email: 'email@example.com'}).then(function (user) {

  user[0].field = 'new_value';
  user[0].field_2 = 'new_value';
  console.log(user[0], 'before saving');
  user[0].save();
  console.log(user[0], 'after saving');

});

If I console user[0] at this stage I can see the updated fields. However the changes were not saved to the db. If I do the following:

User.find({email: 'email@example.com'}).then(function (user) {

  user[0].field = 'new_value';
  user[0].field_2 = 'new_value';
  user[0].save();

  User.find(user[0].id).then(function (updateduser) {

    console.log(updateduser[0])

  });

});

The updateduser does not have the updated fields... Why is that? How can should I proceed in this case?

Why you not use updated() method?

User.find({ email: 'email@example.com' })
    .then(function(user) {
        if (!user) return res.notFound();

        User.update({ eamil: 'eamil@example.com' }, {
                field: 'new_value',
                field_2: 'new_value'
            })
            .then(function(updated_user) {
                console.log(updated_user);
                return res.ok();
            })
            .catch(function(err) {
                sails.log.error(err);
                return res.serverError();
            });
    })
    .catch(function(err) {
        sails.log.error(err);
        return res.serverError();
    });
