Question

I am very new to Rails, so bear with me while I learn.

I have a model, show, with an attribute preview_url. How can I build a call that only returns shows that have a non-null preview_url and what would be the best way to word the controller method?

i.e. localhost:3000/shows/?preview_url ??

Thanks in advance.

In your ShowsController you would have an action named with_preview like this:

def with_preview
  @shows = Show.where('preview_url IS NOT NULL').all
end

The url for this action would be /shows/with_preview
