Rails Model find where not equal

Question

How can I find records in my database on a not equal condition? I have this now, but is there a fancy rails-speak way of doing it?

GroupUser.where(\'user_id         


        

Answer 1

The only way you can get it fancier is with MetaWhere.

MetaWhere has a newer cousin which is called Squeel which allows code like this:

GroupUser.where{user_id != me}

It goes without saying, that if this is the only refactor you are going to make, it is not worth using a gem and I would just stick with what you got. Squeel is useful in situations where you have many complex queries interacting with Ruby code.
