ruby convert class name in string to actual class

Question

How do I call a class from a string containing that class name inside of it? (I guess I could do case/when but that seems ugly.)

The reason I ask is because I\'m us

Answer 1

If you want to convert string to actuall class name to access model or any other class

str = "group class"

> str.camelize.constantize 'or'
> str.classify.constantize 'or'
> str.titleize.constantize

Example :
  def call_me(str)
    str.titleize.gsub(" ","").constantize.all
  end

Call method : call_me("group class")

Result:
  GroupClass Load (0.7ms) SELECT `group_classes`.* FROM `group_classes`
