Rails ActiveRecord Find / Search by Date

Question

I am trying to find records by \'created_at\' date - the database column type is \'datetime\' and I am using the UI DatePicker from jQuery

my url look like this: \"

Answer 1

I solved this problem by creating a method in model like below, Say, my model is ticket.rb

 def created_date
   self.created_at.to_date
 end

then I queried like this,

 selected_date = Date.parse(params[:date])

 Ticket.all.map{|t| t if t.created_date == selected_date}.compact

This gives me accurate results that matches with the chosen date by the user.
