rails where this or that

To perform a query in Ruby on Rails using the "where" method with multiple conditions, you can follow these steps:

1. Start by accessing the model on which you want to perform the query. For example, if you want to query the "User" model, you would start with:

User.where(...)

1. Inside the "where" method, you can specify the conditions for your query. To use the "this or that" condition, you can use the "or" operator. For example:

User.where(condition1).or(condition2)

Replace "condition1" and "condition2" with the specific conditions you want to apply. Each condition should be enclosed in a hash.

1. Define the first condition by specifying the attribute and the desired value. For example, if you want to find users with the name "John", the condition would be:

{ name: 'John' }

1. Define the second condition in the same way, using a different attribute or value. For example, if you want to find users with the age of 25, the condition would be:

{ age: 25 }

Note that you can use any attribute of the model and any desired value for the conditions.

1. Putting it all together, the final code would look like:

User.where({ name: 'John' }).or({ age: 25 })

This query will retrieve all users who have either the name "John" or the age of 25.

That's it! These steps should help you perform a query in Ruby on Rails using the "where" method with multiple conditions using the "or" operator.
