🔎 Query Records with where

The where method is your go‑to for filtering records by conditions. It returns an ActiveRecord::Relation, so you can chain additional scopes like order or limit. Use hashes for simple equality checks or SQL fragments for complex queries.

# Simple equality
todos = Todo.where(done: false)

# Complex conditions
recent_posts = Post.where('created_at > ?', 1.week.ago)
