Question

I have ruby code like this:

module Hello

  class Hi

    def initialize()
      puts self.module.name //Should print "Hello"
    end

  end
end

How can I get the name of the module the class is included in?
Thanks

You can do this with Module::nesting method:

nesting → array

Returns the list of Modules nested at the point of call.

module M
  class C
    Module.nesting[1] # => M
  end
end

If you want to get this value from the instance methods, you can assign it to class variable:

module Hello    
  class Hi
    @@parent = Module.nesting[1]

    def initialize()
      puts @@parent # => Hello
    end
  end
end
