Rails - Nov 2006 - Quick question about a loop

I''m writing a little recipe application, and I want my user profile 
pages to list that particular user''s recipes.

I can''t figure out how to have the code say "Display all of the
recipes
where the user_id column equals the id of this particular user profile".

I know this is probably simple, but I haven''t written many loops
without
copying off of other loops.  :(

Thanks!!

Dave

If you''ve done the "wiring" correctly (table and column
names, model
names and associations), you should be able to do something like:

   <% @user.recipes.each do |recipe| %>
    .... do stuff with recipe here ....
   <% end %>

This is predicated on:

   * a user_id column in the recipes table
   * this line in the user.rb model class:

       has_many :recipes

   * this line in the recipe.rb model class:

       belongs_to :user


And the assumption is that whenever you create a recipe, you assign a
user to it -- like this:

   recipe.user = user

or

   user.recipes << recipe

All of this is just the basic (but very powerful) mechanism by which
ActiveRecord lets you use nice high-level Ruby commands, like
@user.recipes, to manipulate database-level relationships.

Great, that was just what I was looking for.  I had all of the
"wiring"
right, and I knew there was an easy way to do it!  Thanks!!
