Howto: List the actions inside a controller

Posted by Sandro Paganotti in Ruby on Rails - comments are closed digg this add to delicious

One of the most greatest Ruby feature is reflection; it let you inspect your classes and retrive informations about them. For example if you need to know the name of all the actions inside a controller you can just wrote this line:


MyController.instance_methods(false)

And… if you are curious, dump the array returned from


MyController.methods

You will find a lot of useful methods !

    Just use MyController.instance_methods(false) and to list just the public methods MyController.public_instance_methods(false)
