I would make this code shorter.

def foo type, user
  if type == "foo"
    user.foo
  elsif type == "bar"
    user.bar
  end
end

user is ActiveRecord object

type is string "foo" or "bar"

If I have more types then I need to make more elsif. It's possible to make it shorter (without using the model method or any other additional code) using type variable as a column name? Something like:

user.{type} # ???
