[RUBY] Frequently used methods in Active Record

Methods used in ActiveRecord

Method role Return value Description example

create Generate and save the model at the same time Success: the object itself
Failure: Error
User.create(name: 'hoge', email: 'fuga')

Failure: Error
user.destroy
find Get record from database with id in argument Success: Target object
Failure: Error
User.find(1)
find_by Get the record from the database with key and value as arguments Success: the object itself
Failure: nil
User.find_by(name: 'hoge')
update Pass the hash of the attribute to update the value in the database Success: true or failure: error user.update(name: 'hoge', email: 'fuga')
update_attribute Update only specific attributes
Key for the first argument, value for the second argument
Can be updated by ignoring the verification conditions
Success: true or failure: error user.update_attribute(:name, 'piyo')

Usage pattern

The return value of the save method will be true or false, so it will be used when implementing the controller's create action.

hoge_controller.rb


def create    
  tweet = Tweet.create(tweet_params)
  if tweet.save
    #Processing when saving is successful
  else
    #Processing when saving fails
  end
end
