Create a Constant out of a String's value

Rails

Hi all

I know that classes are some sort of Constants in ruby. Now I have to
dynamically call a class’ method while the class’ name is in a string.

string = “MyCoolClass”

Now I wanna call MyCoolClass.my_cool_method but I only have the string
“string”. You know what I mean?

Thanks :slight_smile:

Or in plain Ruby:

Object.const_get(“MyCoolClass”).my_cool_method
