Having trouble setting up my View Page to only show Specific Data?

Hello,

In my view (index.html) I have a table that calls all of my projects. <% @projects.each do |project| %>

I created 2 methods in the Model, project.late? and project.dueSoon? In these methods I used If Then Elsif Else Blocks to form my logic, all based on a bunch of my date fields which determine if the project is late or dueSoon.

I have also created a class that takes the Late and due soon methods and adds a Color-Background style if the Specific project is valid. <% colorClass = project.late? ? "late" : project.dueSoon? ? "dueSoon" : "ok" %>

<td class=<%= colorClass %>><%= link_to project.product, project %></td>

All this works great in my index View. My goal now is to create a 2nd View, delinquent.html.erb page that only returns the project(s) of Projects.project that are Late or dueSoon.

If someone could assist me with this that would be great.

Thank You.

I would use scopes for late or “due soon” projects.

class Project < ActiveRecord::Base

``scope ``:late``, -> { where("some_time_attr > ?", ``Time.now``) }

end

So, then you can call the following in your Controller:

@projects = Project.late
