I have a Notification model that is associated to a User model through origin_user.

I have a Notification model that is associated to a User model through “origin_user”.

I am looking for a shortcut to this:

if notification.origin_user.present?
  notification.origin_user.name
else
  "a user"
end

Isn’t there magic all-in-one function?

    notification.origin_user.try(:name) || "a user"
    

    But if youpromise a User, give a User. You could rely on the NullObject Design Pattern.
