activerecord - Is Rails find deprecated? -

is rails find method deprecated?

in olden days, find(1) preferred way find id.

is better use find_by(id:1) instead of find(1)?

neither method deprecated (as far know). difference between find , find_by() return when record not exist. if record id of 23 not exist, get:

model.find(23) => activerecord::recordnotfound: couldn't find model 'id'=23 

or

model.find_by(id: 23) => nil 

using find_by more forgiving if you're making queries non-existent record possible because nil value rather exception.
