Finding an object in a collection

Ruby

How would I go about finding an object in a collection? Specifically:

I have a collection called roles. I have a Role object with the name
property “user”. How do I find that object in roles?

I believe you can use dynamic finders on AR collections.

@roles_collection.find_by_name( “user” )
