Constructor Name

Determine the name of a value's constructor.

Usage

var constructorName = require( '@stdlib/utils/constructor-name' );

constructorName( value )

Returns the name of a value's constructor.

var v = constructorName( 'a' );
// returns 'String'

v = constructorName( 5 );
// returns 'Number'

function Beep() {
    return this;
}
v = constructorName( new Beep() );
// returns 'Beep'

Notes

• If a value's constructor is an anonymous function, the implementation returns an empty string.

  var Beep = function () {
      return this;
  };
  
  var v = constructorName( new Beep() );
  // returns ''
