new(klass, namespace = nil, name = nil, locale = :en)

Returns a new ActiveModel::Name instance. By default, the namespace and name option will take the namespace and name of the given class respectively. Use locale argument for singularize and pluralize model name.

module Foo
  class Bar
  end
end

ActiveModel::Name.new(Foo::Bar).to_s
# => "Foo::Bar"
