Get model name at runtime

[mazzy89]

I've dig in the last hours in the code to look some way to get at runtime the model name. does it exist a util function to achieve this?

You can define your own methods...

Also this looks like a clean solution but don't know if it works.

In what context do you want to get the model name. From a model item, or from the model class? In my experience, doing model.scan() returns an object that includes the model schema, which at least has the table name for the model. (Scan() doesn't actually make any ddb calls until you call exec())

@AaronHarris I'd like to get the model name from the model class
