Check if array content an object using include

Rails
1

I have the following array on my rails console:

u.favorites
[#<Favorite id: 20, candidate_id: 6, …>, #<Favorite id: 21,
candidate_id: 7,…">, #<Favorite id: 22, candidate_id: 8, …">,
#<Favorite id: 23, candidate_id: 9, …">, #<Favorite id: 24,
candidate_id: 10, …">]

As you can see, I have candidate_id:6, candidate_id:7, candidate_id:8,
candidate_id:9, candidate_id:10. But if I try this:

u.favorites.include?(:candidate_id => 5) o canidate 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10 I
get
false.

What I’m doing wrong?

Thanks in advance for your help.

u.favorites.keep_if { |f| f.canidate_id == 5 }

You’re trying to compare a Favorite object to a symbol.

So either pass a Favorite object as an argument to include? for
comparison or use something like Enumerable#find to select on
your desired attribute (e.g. candidate_id).

You might want to spend some time here:
