What is the difference between the two versions of mongoid first_or_create

Question

I was going over mongoid documentation https://mongoid.github.io/old/en/mongoid/docs/querying.html

and it is not clear to me what is difference between first_or_create & first_or_create!

Can someone help me understand ?

I think you could take a look at

https://mongoid.github.io/old/en/mongoid/docs/persistence.html

create = Insert a document or multiple documents into the database

create! = Insert a document or multiple documents into the database, raising an error if a validation error occurs.
