How do I get the name of a Ruby class?


ruby-on-rails ruby rails-activerecord

You want to call .name on the object's class:

result.class.name

ruby-on-rails ruby rails-activerecord

Here's the correct answer, extracted from comments by Daniel Rikowski and pseidemann. I'm tired of having to weed through comments to find the right answer...

If you use Rails (ActiveSupport):

result.class.name.demodulize

If you use POR (plain-ol-Ruby):

result.class.name.split('::').last

ruby-on-rails ruby rails-activerecord

Both result.class.to_s and result.class.name work.
