I have this code in my controller filter by month :

@posts = Post.by_month(params[:selected_month])

now I need to set current month as default value in case of nil ????

I guess you already implemented that method at your Model.

You can get the name of the current month with:

Date.today.strftime("%B")

So at your code:

month = params[:selected_month] ? params[:selected_month] : Date.today.strftime("%B")
@posts = Post.by_month(month)

This should be work if your method by_month search records by month name

If your method search by month number then change Date.today.strftime("%B") by Date.today.strftime("%m")

  • Thank you Oscar Luza I used some of you code and created if statement in case nil and worked great: if (params[:selected_month]).nil? #posts = Post.by_month(Date.today.strftime("%m")) else #posts = Post.by_month(params[:desierd_month]) end – neo7 Sep 09 '17 at 20:55
