Stripe Cancel User Subscription - ruby-on-rails

Question

Completely banging my head against the wall trying to figure out how to cancel a user subscription. I have been all through StackOverflow and cant seem to find anything to help. Because I am fairly new to RoR the Stripe API only confuses me a bit more. I do understand that I need to capture and save the user ID somehow before i can cancel. I have not been able to figure this out...hence why i cant cancel subscriptions. HELP PLEASE

flash[:notice] = "Please select a plan to sign up."
redirect_to new_subscribe_path
end
end
def update
# Amount in cents
token = params[:stripeToken]
customer = Stripe::Customer.create(
:email => current_user.email,
:card => token,
plan: params[:id]
)
current_user.subscribed = true
current_user.stripe_id = customer.id
current_user.save
redirect_to demo_path, notice: "Your Plan was created. Enjoy the demo!"
end

I am sure that you have seen this before stripe cancel subscription
first you have to get the customer the you can find there subscriptions so you can delete it
# Definition
customer = Stripe::Customer.retrieve({CUSTOMER_ID})
customer.subscriptions.retrieve({SUBSCRIPTION_ID}).delete
# Example
require "stripe"
Stripe.api_key = "sk_test_fSaKtH5qZMmhyXiF7YXup2wz"
customer = Stripe::Customer.retrieve("cus_5LXt66ikj5nYz5")
# customer.subscriptions returns a list of all subscriptions
customer.subscriptions.retrieve("sub_5TGMEBBALjNcD6").delete

Ultimate Answer
token = params[:stripeToken]
customer = Stripe::Customer.create(
:email => current_user.email,
:card => token,
plan: params[:id]
)
current_user.subscribed = true
current_user.stripe_id = customer.id
current_user.stripe_subscription_id = customer.subscriptions['data'][0].id
current_user.plan_name = customer.subscriptions['data'][0].plan.name
current_user.save
redirect_to demo_path, notice: "Your Plan was created. Enjoy the demo!"

In order to make this easier, you need to store the stripe_id and subscription_id in your database. Hence, after creating the columns stripe_id and subscription_id in your User model, you will have to save that:
customer = Stripe::Customer.create({
email: params[:stripeEmail],
source: params[:stripeToken],
plan: params[:plan]
})
subscription_id = customer.subscriptions['data'][0].id
user.update_attributes(stripe_id: customer.id, subscription_id: subscription_id)
Now you can always call the user's subscription since you have its id:
user = current_user
stripe_subscription = Stripe::Subscription.retrieve(user.subscription_id)
stripe_subscription.delete
If you only have the customer_id in your database, you can:
user = current_user
stripe_customer = Stripe::Customer.retrieve(user.stripe_id)
stripe_subscription = stripe_customer.['data'][0].delete
