Method: String#to_parse_class

Defined in:
lib/parse/model/model.rb

#to_parse_class(singularize: false) ⇒ String

Convert a string to a Parse class name. This method tries to find a responsible Parse::Object subclass that potentially matches the given string. If no match is found, it returns the camelized version of the string. This method is used internally for matching association attributes to registered Parse::Object subclasses. The method can also singularize the name before performing conversion.

Examples:

"users".to_parse_class(singularize: true) # => "_User"
"users".to_parse_class # => "Users"
"song_data".to_parse_class # => "SongData"

Parameters:

  • singularize (Boolean) (defaults to: false) —

    whether the string should be singularized first before performing conversion.

Returns:

  • (String) —

    the matching Parse class for this string.
