findOrCreate in Loopback model

I found an interesting problem on loopback. I was confused when I was adding records with findOrCreate. Let's see the example:

  for (var x = 0; x < 10; x++) {
    console.log(x);
    var Log = app.models.Log;
    Log.findOrCreate({
      where: {
        modelName: '123'
      }
    }, {
      modelName: '123'
    }, function(err, log) {
      if (err) return;
      if (log) {
        console.log("+ " + log.id);
      }
    });
  }

I think it should create 1 record with modelName '123' only, but I got 10 finally.

Is there something wrong?

That's expected. You are running the code synchronously. If you run it in an asynchronous way, you will see only one document being created. Try this:

var arr = new Array(10);
async.eachSeries(arr, function (pos, callback) {
    console.log(pos);
    Log.findOrCreate({
      where: {
        txt: '123'
      }
    }, {
      txt: '123'
    }, function (err, log) {
      if (err) return;
      console.log("+ " + log.id);
      callback();
    });
  }, function (err) {
    if (err) {
      throw err;
    }
  }
);
