Reason for syntax error in conditional statement

I have one check_box in form:

<%= f.check_box :user, {checked: true if current_user.id == "1"} %>

and here I'm getting syntax error, while here: 

<%= f.check_box :user, {checked: if current_user.id == "1"
                                   true
                                  end} %>

everything works fine. What am I missing?

You need to clarify the sentence:

<%= f.check_box :user, {checked: (true if current_user.id == "1")} %> 
# or maybe...
<%= f.check_box :user, {checked: true if (current_user.id == "1")} %>

Btw, you don't need the if, just the result of the condition. Try:

<%= f.check_box :user, {checked: (current_user.id == 1)} %>
