What's this?

klass() public

Returns the target association’s class:

  class Author < ActiveRecord::Base
    has_many :books
  end

  Author.reflect_on_association(:books).klass
  # => Book

Note: do not call klass.new or klass.create to instantiate a new association object. Use build_association or create_association instead. This allows plugins to hook into association object creation.
