#entity_class_for_obj(object, options) ⇒ Class

Parameters:

  • object (Object) —

    the object to locate the Entity class for

  • options (Hash)

Options Hash (options):

  • :with (Class) —

    the explicit entity class to use

Returns:

  • (Class) —

    the located Entity class, or nil if none is found
