ActiveRecord where returns ActiveRecord::Relation

u = User.where("name = ?", "mateusz").limit(1)
u.class
=> ActiveRecord::Relation

So I cant do smth like u.email and so on. .find does right, returns User object. Is there any chance to get an User object from ActiveRecord::Relation object?

If you expect to only find one record, you could use find_by:

u = User.find_by(name: 'mateusz')

You should call first or last on the ActiveRecord::Relation object:

u = User.where("name = ?", "mateusz").first
