db.get vs db.find

I know its probably a bit late now as its likely the API is now fixed but a convention I really like is "get" means the thing you are looking for MUST be there whereas "find" could return the thing OR undefined.

So in this case it would have been great if we had both

db.get

db.get

AND

db.find

db.find

where the latter is basically what

db.get

db.get

currently is and the new

db.get

db.get

throws an error if it cant find the entry.

Alternative you could do the Prisma route with its

orThrow

orThrow

convention to have something like

db.getOrThrow

db.getOrThrow

.

Anyways, I just thought I would put it out there
