Get Angular component's name from the reference

Question

Is there a way to get a components name in Angular from the reference?

So, having something like this:

@Input comp: any;

ngOnInit {
  console.log(this.comp);
}

will log the whole component object, but I want only a string with the name of the component.

Is that possible? Thanks

Yes it is definitely possible using this.constructor.name. This will give you the name of the current component.

this.constructor.name

In your case you can try doing

this.comp.constructor.name
