What's this?

classify(table_name) public

Create a class name from a plural table name like Rails does for table names to models. Note that this returns a string and not a Class. (To convert to an actual class follow classify with constantize.)

Examples:

  "egg_and_hams".classify # => "EggAndHam"
  "posts".classify        # => "Post"

Singular names are not handled correctly:

  "business".classify     # => "Busines"

Show source

# File activesupport/lib/active_support/inflector.rb, line 244
  def classify(table_name)
    # strip out any leading schema name
    camelize(singularize(table_name.to_s.sub(/.*\./, '')))
  end
