Get name of object or class

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?

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

myObj.constructor.name

Returns "myClass".

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"
