How do I get the name of a Ruby class?

Question

How can I get the class name from an ActiveRecord object?

I have:

result = User.find(1)

I tried:

result.class
# =&g         


        

Answer 1

In my case when I use something like result.class.name I got something like Module1::class_name. But if we only want class_name, use

result.class.table_name.singularize
