Javascript get Function Name?

Question

How can I access a function name from inside that function?

// parasitic inheritance
var ns.parent.child = function() {
  var parent = new ns.parent();
  parent.newFunc = function() {

  }
  return parent;
}

var ns.parent = function() {
  // at this point, i want to know who the child is that called the parent
  // ie

}

var obj = new ns.parent.child();

Answer 1

You can't. Functions don't have names according to the standard (though mozilla has such an attribute) - they can only be assigned to variables with names.

Also your comment:

// access fully qualified name (ie "my.namespace.myFunc")

is inside the function my.namespace.myFunc.getFn

What you can do is return the constructor of an object created by new

So you could say

var obj = new my.namespace.myFunc();
console.info(obj.constructor); //my.namespace.myFunc

look here: http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1209619

arguments.callee.toString();

seems to be right for your needs.
