How can I assign an item to a user id in rails?

Am new to rails and i have an application that allows the user to sign in and create a deadline for a project, my question is am using devise and I want to set it so when a new deadline is created i assign it to the users id. I tried the following in my new and create methods:

class DeadlinesController < ApplicationController

def new
    @deadline = current_user.deadlines.new
end

def create
    @deadline = current_user.deadlines.new(params[:deadline].permit(:title, :date, :description))
    if @deadline.save
        redirect_to @deadline
    else
        render 'new'
    end
end

def show
    @deadline = Deadline.find(params[:id])
end

def edit
    @deadline = Deadline.find(params[:id])
end

def index
    @deadlines = Deadline.all
    @deadlines = Deadline.paginate(:page => params[:page], :per_page => 5)
end

def update
    @deadline = Deadline.find(params[:id])

    if @deadline.update(params[:deadline].permit(:title, :date, :description))
        redirect_to @deadline
    else
        render 'edit'
    end
end

def destroy
    @deadline = Deadline.find(params[:id])
    @deadline.destroy

    redirect_to deadlines_path

end

private
def post_params
    params.require(:deadline).permit(:title, :date, :description)
end

 end

When I try @deadline = current_user.deadlines.new I get in error as undefined method deadlines' for #<User:0x007fa37b6127d8>?

Yes, you need to add user_id column to deadlines table.

In the terminal, navigate to your Rails app and type:

rails generate migration add_user_id_to_deadlines user_id:integer

This will create a migration automatically that has the user_id column in the deadlines table. You can then migrate the database again to add the latest changes:

rake db:migrate

Also modify your deadline.rb to include belongs_to :user and user.rb to include has_many :deadlines
