Using devise current_user

I have a user and an address for example and the relation is as follows:

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  devise :database_authenticatable, :registerable,
     :recoverable, :rememberable, :trackable, :validatable

  has_one :address
end


class Address< ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :user
end

Now when I create an address object, I want to be able to pass through the current_user id and save it to the address model, so in my controller I have

before_filter :authenticate_user!

def new
  @address= current_user.address.new
end

def create
  @address= current_user.address.new(address_params)
   if @address.save
     redirect_to root_path, notice: 'Address Successfully Created'
  else
    render action: 'new'
  end
end

private

def address_params
  params.require(:address).permit(:id, :user_id, :add_1, :add_2, :add_3)
end

I can't access the new action at the moment, as the error I am getting is 

undefined method `new' for nil:NilClass

What am I missing?

I think you should do it like this:

def new
  @address = current_user.build_address
end

And same in create action
