What's the Rails Way to get the Model Class from the Controller?

Question

I can do this in the controller to get the model class:

self.class.name.gsub("Controller", "").singularize.constantize

But is there a built in method for this in the controller?

Something like self.model_class?

Thanks!

Answer 1

action:pack and active:record are separated so this isn't possible.

Answer 2

params[:controller].classify.constantize
