Issue #5628 has been updated by mame (Yusuke Endoh). Assignee set to matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto) ---------------------------------------- Feature #5628: Module#basename https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/5628#change-25260 Author: trans (Thomas Sawyer) Status: Open Priority: Normal Assignee: matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto) Category: Target version: 1.9.4 Something I use fairly often: some_module.name.split("::").last It's useful for things like factory methods. It would be much nicer if we had: class Module def basename name.split("::").last end end -- http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
