Adding a date to a date attribute in active record
I am trying to add a date of birth to each patient in my database and having issues adding a date to the dob attribute on each patient. When I add for ex. Patient.first(dob: "01/25/1990") I get an error reading no implicit conversion of Integer into Hash. Any ideas on how I would do so?
create_table "patients", force: :cascade do |t|
t.string "first_name"
t.string "last_name"
t.integer "age"
t.date "dob"
t.datetime "created_at", null: false
t.datetime "updated_at", null: false
end
When I seeded my database, my dob field was nil
I have also tried Patient.first(dob: Date.parse('31-12-2010')) and still get the same error.

You have two problems:
firstdoesn't take query arguments.- Your date format is ambiguous.
The first finder method looks like:
first(limit = nil)
Find the first record (or firstNrecords if a parameter is supplied). If no order is defined it will order by primary key.
You want to use find_by as your .where(...).first shortcut.
And to avoid ambiguity with your dates, you should use Date objects or ISO-8601 formatted strings (i.e. YYYY-MM-DD) inside the application and leave the supposedly "human friendly" formats for the very edges.
You want to say:
Patient.find_by(dob: '1990-01-25')
