Returns a new ActiveModel::Name instance. By default, the namespace and name option will take the namespace and name of the given class respectively.

Equivalent to String#<=>.

Equivalent to String#==. Returns true if the class name and other are equal, otherwise false.

Equivalent to String#=~. Match the class name against the given regexp. Returns the position where the match starts or nil if there is no match.

end

BlogPost.model_name =~ /Post/ # => 4
BlogPost.model_name =~ /\d/   # => nil

Transform the model name into a more human format, using I18n. By default, it will underscore then humanize the class name.

class BlogPost
  extend ActiveModel::Naming
end

BlogPost.model_name.human # => "Blog post"

Specify options with additional translating options.
