ruby-on-railsfriendly-id

Friendly_id still showing user id in the url

I am trying to use the Friendly_id gem and it works for user edit but not user show page. On the user show page it still uses the user id instead of the user_name which is the slug. I am not sure what my mistake is thank you for all the help.

routes

class User < ApplicationRecord
  extend FriendlyId
  friendly_id :user_name, use: :slugged
end

user_controller

def edit
  @user = User.friendly.find(params[:id])
end

def show
  @user = User.friendly.find(params[:id])
end

routes

Rails.application.routes.draw do
  resources :users
end
Solution

  • Following the official document of friendly_id, i guessed that you missed this line: extend FriendlyId

    class User < ApplicationRecord
  extend FriendlyId 
  friendly_id :user_name, use: :slugged
end
