Current_user assignment Rails 4

Question

I am trying to return the current users created gifts in the controller method below before I search using the Ransack gem, can anyone help with suggesting the correct approach to this?

def mygifts

    #Gift = current_user.gifts << Trying to assign constant with current users gifts before ransack search

    @q = Gift.search(params[:q])
    @gifts = @q.result.order(sort_column + " " + sort_direction).paginate(:per_page => 6, :page => params[:page])
end

Answer 1

I've not got experience with the ransack gem, but my gut tells me your trying to overwrite the Gift constant is going to cause big problems (name conflict etc)

Have you tried using:

@q = current_user.gifts.search(params[:q])
