Getting the model class from active record relation

Question

I have a Rails model:

class Foo < ActiveRecord::Base
  ...
end

Given an active record relation:

limited_foo = Foo.where(...)

how can I get the original model class?

limited_foo ... # => Foo

Answer 1

ActiveRecord::Relation has an attribute_reader klass:

limited_foo.klass
#=> Foo

Source is here. Alias model works as well.
