ActiveSupport::Inflector
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).
'egg_and_hams'.classify # => "EggAndHam" 'posts'.classify # => "Post"
Singular names are not handled correctly:
'calculus'.classify # => "Calculu"
1Note
Use camelize with singular words
To make the business example work, use +camelize+ instead of +classify+:
"business".camelize # => "Business"
