Overview

A simple finding for obtaining a single User.

While using ‘User.find_by` directly is straightforward, it can lead to a lot of code duplication. Sometimes we just want to find a user by an ID, other times we may want to exclude blocked user. By using this finder (and extending it whenever necessary) we can keep this logic in one place.
