How can I pass multiple attributes to find_or_create_by in Rails 3?

Question

I want to use find_or_create_by, but this statement does NOT work. It does not \"find\" or \"create\" with the other attributes.

productproperty = ProductPro         


        

Answer 1

In Rails 4, you can use find_or_create_by(attr1: 1, attr2: 2) to find or create by multiple attributes.

You can also do something like:

User.create_with(
  password: 'secret', 
  password_confirmation: 'secret',
  confirmation_date: DateTime.now
).find_or_create_by(
  email: 'admin@domain.com',
  admin: true
)

If you need to create the user with some attributes, but cannot search by those attributes.
