Rails - Select records where active storage link does not exist












0















I am using rails active storage and I want to know if it is possible to create a scope where i can pull users who are missing the profile image



Suppose I have the following User model



class User < ApplicationRecord
has_one_attached :avatar
end


I know I can check if the image is linked with the object via following



user.avatar.attached?


But what if I want to pull those users from database who are missing the avatar? I am sure there is a better way than pulling all users and looping through them to find the users who have no avatar



Any tip will be really appreciated.

          You can try to join and get all the user with avatar and subtract them to all users like that:



          @no_avatar_users = User.all - User.joins(:avatar)

          • Thanks but I dont think this will work as avatar is not a column in database

          You can try to join and get all the user with avatar and subtract them to all users like that:



          @no_avatar_users = User.all - User.joins(:avatar)
