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?

If you are using Rails, you can actually use the demodulize method on the String class. http://apidock.com/rails/String/demodulize

bar.class.name.demodulize
