Ruby: Calling class method from instance
- by Peter
In Ruby, how do you call a class method from one of that class's instances? Say I have
class Truck
def self.default_make
# Class method.
"mac"
end
def initialize
# Instance method.
Truck.default_make # gets the default via the class's method.
# But: I wish to avoid mentioning Truck. Seems I'm repeating myself.
end
end
the line Truck.default_make retrieves the default. But is there a way of saying this without mentioning Truck? It seems like there should be.
