Strftime on datetime column from table

I am have a instance variable ride that comes from a table and it has a column ride.pickup_at

If I do <%= ride.pickup_at.class.name %> I get

time

So Strftime should be available.

Now, if I do <%= ride.pickup_at.strftime('%x') %> I get an error

undefined method `strftime' for nil:NilClass

What do I have to do to make strftime available?

You can add a if condition like this before your code like this. <%if !ride.pickup_at.nil? %> <%= ride.pickup_at.strftime('%x') %> <% end %> This might be because of some record having nil value for pickup_at

you can use try to do the nil judge: <%= ride.pickup_at.try(:strftime, '%x') %> .Or I think you should figure out what to do if ride.pickup_at is nil
