(Quick Reference) ## findOrCreateWhere ### Purpose Uses named arguments that match the property names of the domain class to produce a query that returns the first result. This method behaves just like findWhere except that it will never return `null`. If a matching instance cannot be found then a new instance will be created, populated with values from the query parameters and returned. The difference between this method and findOrSaveWhere is that this method will not save a newly created instance where findOrSaveWhere does. ### Examples Given the domain class:
    class Book {

       String title
       Date releaseDate
       String author

       static constraints = {
          releaseDate nullable: true
       }
    }
You can query in the form:
    def book = Book.findOrCreateWhere(author: "Stephen King", title: "The Stand")
### Description Parameters: `queryParams` - A `Map` of key/value pairs to be used in the query. If no matching instance is found then this data is used to initialize a new instance. | Quick Reference (hide)
