Question

I want to return just the elements that belong to a user. The user_id value is a column from Run. What I want is to select just the runs that are from the current_user.

def index
  @runs = Run.all

  respond_to do |format|
    format.html # index.html.erb
    format.json { render json: @runs }
  end
end

As tried something like

@runs = Run.where(user_id= => current_user.id)

But it didn’t worked. How should I do it?

Answer 1

If you have an association between your User model and your Run model you should be able to do simply current_user.runs. For example:

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :runs
end

class Run < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :user
end

I don’t know your actual DB schema or model names, though, so I can’t be sure if this is correct for your situation.
