Is there a way to get the current function from within the current function?

Sorry for the really weird title, but here’s what I’m trying to do:

var f1 = function (param1, param2) {

    // Is there a way to get an object that is ‘f1’
    // (the current function)?

};

As you can see, I would like to access the current function from within an anonymous function.

Is this possible?

Name it.

var f1 = function fOne() {
    console.log(fOne); //fOne is reference to this function
}
console.log(fOne); //undefined - this is good, fOne does not pollute global context

Yes – arguments.callee is the current function.

NOTE: This is deprecated in ECMAScript 5, and may cause a performance hit for tail-call recursion and the like. However, it does work in most major browsers.

In your case, f1 will also work.

You can access it with f1 since the function will have been assigned to the variable f1 before it is called:

var f1 = function () {
    f1(); // Is valid
};

f1(); // The function is called at a later stage
