Finding in array of active record results

Question

I am using active record to create array.

users = User.all.to_a

now I want to later on find with in this array user id: 1

users.find(1)

but it is not giving result but returning everything. How can I search in this result array my selected user id. I can see users is a an array but with in array each record of User object.

If I do following

user.first

it return User object, but I want to search, how can I do it. I understand if I remove to_a then it will work but then it will create another sql query.

Since it is an array of objects, you should use find with block:

users.find { |user| user.id == 1 }
