My users have reviews, review may be negative and positive And now i want show positive and negative reviews for other users users_controllers.rb

class UsersController < ApplicationController

    def show
      @user = User.find(params[:id])
      @reviews = Review.where(for_user_id: @user, negative: false)
      @reviews = @reviews.where(negative: params[:negative]) if params[:negative].present?

<%= link_to 'Negative reviews', user_path(@user, negative: true) %>

and 

<%= link_to 'Positive reviews', user_path(@user, negative: false) %>

and change your show method:

def show
  @user = User.find(params[:id])
  @reviews = Review.where(for_user_id: @user, negative: (params[:negative] || false))
end

even if I ask myself why you can't do that:

def show
  @user = User.find(params[:id])
  @reviews = @user.reviews.where(for_user_id: @user, negative: (params[:negative] || false))
end

As said by coorase appending a parameter to the end of the args will work.

<%= link_to 'Negative reviews', user_path(@user, negative: true) %>

will create a url like: root/users/:id?negative=true

if you debug inside of the controller action which handles this and evaluate the value of 'params' you will see something like: 

{"negative"=>"true", "controller"=>"root", "action"=>"index"}

this is your params hash and it means that 

params[:negative] ==> true

(I recommend getting the 'pry' gem and inserting 'binding.pry' inside the controller action if you don't have a good debugger you use)

Please be more specific in explaining why this output doesnt work for your situation and I may be able to help you formulate better parameters

You could pass the user ID and the review parameter

link_to "Reviews", user_path(id: @user.id, negative: true)
