In View(CakePHP), the proper way to get current controller?

Question

In View, I can get action by using

$this->action

But, I cannot get controller name by

$this->controller

Answer 1

$this->name also give you controller's name. Their difference with $this->params['controller'] is it's first letter capitalized

debug($this->name);
debug($this->params['controller']);

Results in:

 \app\Controller\AppController.php (line 176)

'Users'

\app\Controller\AppController.php (line 177)

'users'
