Ruby on Rails - Add condition on ':include =>' to load limited number of objects

Question

I have two models User and Event. The cardinality is one User has many Events. When I query the database to give me all the users and their corresponding events it returns t

Answer 1

Something along these lines should work:

# Rails 3
User.includes(:events).where(:events => {:created_at => Time.now.midnight..Time.now.tomorrow.midnight})

# Rails 2
User.find(:all, :includes => :events, :conditions => ["events.created_at between ? and ?", Time.now.midnight, Time.now.tomorrow.midnight])

Time.now.tomorrow.midnight is pretty nasty. 1.day.from_now.midnight may be slightly less nasty, depending on your preference ;)
