How to get only class name without namespace

Question

There is a class like this. ``` module Foo class Bar end end ``` And I want to get the class name of `Bar` without `Foo`. ``` bar = Foo::Bar.new bar.class.to_s.match('::(.+)$'){ $1 } ``` I could get the class name by this code, but I don't think this is a best way to get it. Is there better way to get the name of class without namespace?

Accepted Answer

The canonical way to do this is to invoke Object#class and Module#name. For example:

```
bar.class.name.split('::').last
#=> "Bar"
```
