Get name of object or class

Question

Is there any solution to get the function name of an object?

function alertClassOrObject (o) {    window.alert(o.objectName); //"myObj" OR "myClass" as a String }  function myClass () {    this.foo = function () {        alertClassOrObject(this);    } }  var myObj = new myClass(); myObj.foo(); 

for (var k in this) {...} - there is no information about the className or ObjectName. Is it possible to get one of them?

Answer 1

Get your object's constructor function and then inspect its name property.

myObj.constructor.name 

Returns "myClass".

Answer 2

Example:

function Foo () { console.log('Foo function'); } var f = new Foo(); console.log('f', f.constructor.name); // -> "Foo"  var Bar = function () { console.log('Anonymous function (as Bar)'); }; var b = new Bar(); console.log('b', b.constructor.name); // -> "Bar"  var Abc = function Xyz() { console.log('Xyz function (as Abc)'); }; var a = new Abc(); console.log('a', a.constructor.name); // -> "Xyz"  class Clazz { constructor() { console.log('Clazz class'); } } var c = new Clazz(); console.log('c', c.constructor.name); // -> "Clazz"  var otherClass = class Cla2 { constructor() { console.log('Cla2 class (as otherClass)'); } } var c2 = new otherClass(); console.log('c2', c2.constructor.name); // -> "Cla2"
