Expecting an element to have a class attribute

I am trying to make some automation tests using rspec and selenium. How can I verify if a class from has an attribute active? I have attached the element code below:

<li class="nav-item pl10 pr10 active" data-nav="dashboard" 
  id="dashboard_navbar_item">
  <a class="nav-link" href="/dashboard">
     Dashboard
  </a>
</li>

I want to verify to have the class name (containing the active attribute, as if the attribute were set to activate the page that is displayed, I want to use it as another measure besides the URL to verify.

First you have to find the element and then check whether the classes of the element includes active or not, like below;

anchor  = @driver.find_element(:xpath, '//li[@id="dashboard_navbar_item"]/a')
classes = anchor.attribute('class')

expect(classes).to include('active')
