Javascript How to migrate promise.spread syntax to async/await with destructuring

Question

I'm cleaning up some sequelize code and the findOrCreate function returns a promise that requires spreading to get the actual result object.

I'd like to rewrite my code to use await instead and, given ES6 supports array destructuring I'd have thought that instead of

User.findOrCreate({ where: { mcId }, defaults }).spread((user, created) => {
  // do stuff
})

I'd just be able to do

const [user, created] = await User.findOrCreate({ where: { mcId }, defaults })

but alas that's not the case.

I get the error (intermediate value) is not iterable

Is there any special trick to doing this or is what I am trying to do just not possible?

I'm using Sequelize v4.37.10 and this worked for me -

 const [address, created] = await models.Address.findOrCreate({ where: { pid: 123}, defaults});
