Finding the opposite of what you have with rails invert_where
22-Mar-2025 73
Rails 7 introduced invert_where. This method inverts all scope conditions that it’s applied to, simplifying the process of defining the opposite of a where clause in ActiveRecord queries. It also comes with a few caveats that should be considered before using it.
What is invert_where?
invert_where is a Rails method that can fetch all the data that is excluded by an existing query.
Let’s take this example: finding recent claims that have been raised on completed orders and have an amount of less than £100.
