<jarr0dsz> im having a @group.participants.order(:id).offset(0).limit(1).first that returns a participant object i checked with .inspect but how do i get an attribute from that?




first_participant = @group.participants.order("id").select("name").first || :no_participant_for_this_group

if first_participant == :no_participant_for_this_group
  puts first_participant.name
else
  puts first_participant.name
end



--
even if you don't put that if statement to validate...
and if there are no participants, it will generate an exception
with the name :no_participant_for_this_group on the log file,
witch will make your life easier to search for that code ;)
