How do I access the name of the Rails 3 application object?

Question

I need to know the name of a programmers application from within a Rails 3 engine.

Answer 1

For a more "humanized" version (based on the first reply you can find here) consider the following method: it will return Test App for your TestApp application.

def app_name
  Rails.application.class.parent_name
    .underscore
    .humanize
    .split
    .map(&:capitalize)
    .join(' ')
end
