How to get all class names in a namespace in Ruby?
Foo.constants
returns all constants in Foo
. This includes, but is not limited to, classnames. If you want only class names, you can use
Foo.constants.select {|c| Foo.const_get(c).is_a? Class}
If you want class and module names, you can use is_a? Module
instead of is_a? Class
.
If, instead of the names of the constants, you want the classes themselves, you could do it like this:
Foo.constants.map(&Foo.method(:const_get)).grep(Class)
In short no. However, you can show all classes that have been loaded. So first you have to load all classfiles in the namespace:
Dir["#{File.dirname(__FILE__)}/lib/foo/*.rb"].each {|file| load file}
then you can use a method like Jörg W Mittag's to list the classes
Foo.constants.map(&Foo.method(:const_get)).grep(Class)
