How to retrieve current className in flutter?

Question

I have a class:

class Dog {

Dog() {
  print("Current classname is: ${this.className}");
}

}

It seems this.className is not allowed. Is there something equivalent ?

Answer 1

this.runtimeType 

or just

runtimeType 

returns the name of the current class.

Answer 2

If you want to initialize a variable at the beginning of the class and not in the build method (for instance), the way to go is simply doing as follows:

String className = (YourClass).toString();
