Rails: How to get the model class name based on the controller class name?

Question

class HouseBuyersController < ...
  def my_method
    # How could I get here the relevant model name, i.e. \"HouseBuyer\" ?
  end
end

Answer 1

The accepted solution did not work for me as my controller and model was namespaced. Instead, I came up with the following method:

def controllers_model
  (self.class.name.split('::')[0..-2] << controller_name.classify).join('::')
end
