How do I get the type of a record in Clojurescript?

Question

I have two records in Clojurescript defined as follows:

(defrecord Html [])
(defrecord Tree [])

I need to find out the type of the item which can be defined as either of these records, how can I do this?

(def a (Html.))

Answer 1

(defrecord Html [])
(defrecord Tree [])

(= (type (->Html)) Html) ; true
(= (type (->Html)) Tree) ; false

(= (type (->Tree)) Html) ; false
(= (type (->Tree)) Tree) ; true

Answer 2

The best, host-independent way to do it is:

(instance? Html a)

This will work for any type.
