These tools are often used as part of a JavaScript build pipeline to reduce the size of a program prior to deploying it to production. Such transformations often change a function's name at build-time. Source code such as: ``` function Foo() {}; let foo = new Foo(); if (foo.constructor.name === 'Foo') { console.log("'foo' is an instance of 'Foo'"); } else { console.log('Oops!'); } ``` may be compressed to: ``` function a() {}; let b = new a(); if (b.constructor.name === 'Foo') { console.log("'foo' is an instance of 'Foo'"); } else { console.log('Oops!'); } ``` In the uncompressed version, the program runs into the truthy-branch and logs `"'foo' is an instance of 'Foo'"`. Whereas, in the compressed version it behaves differently, and runs into the else-branch. If you rely on `Function.name`, like in the example above, make sure your build pipeline doesn't change function names, or don't assume a function to have a particular name. ## Examples ### Function statement name The `name` property returns the name of a function statement. ``` function doSomething() {} doSomething.name; // "doSomething" ``` ### Function constructor name Functions created with the syntax `new Function(...)` or just `Function(...)` create [`Function`](https://udn.realityripple.com/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Function) objects and their name is "anonymous". ``` (new Function).name; // "anonymous" ``` ### Anonymous function expression Anonymous function expressions that were created using the keyword `function` or arrow functions would have `""`(an empty string) as their name. ``` (function() {}).name; // "" (() => {}).name; // "" ``` ### Inferred function names Variables and methods can infer the name of an anonymous function from its syntactic position (new in ECMAScript 2015). ``` let f = function() {}; let object = { someMethod: function() {} }; console.log(f.name); // "f" console.log(object.someMethod.name); // "someMethod" ``` You can define a function with a name in a [function expression](https://udn.realityripple.com/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/function): ``` let object = { someMethod: function object_someMethod() {} }; console.log(object.someMethod.name); // logs "object_someMethod" try { object_someMethod } catch(e) { console.log(e); } // ReferenceError: object_someMethod is not defined ``` The name property is read-only and cannot be changed by the assigment operator: Example below contradicts with what is said at the beginning of this section and doesn't work as described. ``` let object = { // anonymous someMethod: function() {} }; object.someMethod.name = 'otherMethod'; console.log(object.someMethod.name); // someMethod ``` To change it, use [`Object.defineProperty()`](https://udn.realityripple.com/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Object/defineProperty). ### Shorthand method names ``` var o = { foo(){} }; o.foo.name; // "foo"; ``` ### Bound function names [`Function.bind()`](https://udn.realityripple.com/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Function/bind) produces a function whose name is "bound " plus the function name. ``` function foo() {}; foo.bind({}).name; // "bound foo" ``` ### Function names for getters and setters When using `get` and `set` accessor properties, "get" or "set" will appear in the function name. ``` let o = { get foo(){}, set foo(x){} }; var descriptor = Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor(o, "foo"); descriptor.get.name; // "get foo" descriptor.set.name; // "set foo"; ``` ### Function names in classes You can use `obj.constructor.name` to check the "class" of an object (but be sure to read the warnings below): ``` function Foo() {} // ES2015 Syntax: class Foo {} var fooInstance = new Foo(); console.log(fooInstance.constructor.name); // logs "Foo" ``` **Warning:** The script interpreter will set the built-in `Function.name` property only if a function does not have an own property called *name* (see section [9\.2.11 of the ECMAScript2015 Language Specification](https://www.ecma-international.org/ecma-262/6.0/#sec-setfunctionname)). However, ES2015 specifies the *static* keyword such that static methods will be set as OwnProperty of the class constructor function (ECMAScript2015, [14\.5.14.21.b](https://www.ecma-international.org/ecma-262/6.0/#sec-runtime-semantics-classdefinitionevaluation) + [12\.2.6.9](https://www.ecma-international.org/ecma-262/6.0/#sec-object-initializer-runtime-semantics-propertydefinitionevaluation)). Therefore we can't obtain the class name for virtually any class with a static method property `name()`: ``` class Foo { constructor() {} static name() {} } ``` With a `static name()` method `Foo.name` no longer holds the actual class name but a reference to the `name()` function object. Above class definition in ES2015 syntax will behave in Chrome or Firefox similar to the following snippet in ES5 syntax: ``` function Foo() {} Object.defineProperty(Foo, 'name', { writable: true }); Foo.name = function() {}; ``` Trying to obtain the class of `fooInstance` via `fooInstance.constructor.name` won't give us the class name at all but a reference to the static class method. Example: ``` let fooInstance = new Foo(); console.log(fooInstance.constructor.name); // logs function name() ``` You may also see from the ES5 syntax example that in Chrome or Firefox our static definition of `Foo.name` becomes *writable*. The built-in definition in the absence of a custom static definition is *read-only*: ``` Foo.name = 'Hello'; console.log(Foo.name); // logs "Hello" if class Foo has a static name() property but "Foo" if not. ``` Therefore you may not rely on the built-in `Function.name` property to always hold a class's name. ### Symbols as function names If a [`Symbol`](https://udn.realityripple.com/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Symbol) is used a function name and the symbol has a description, the method's name is the description in square brackets. ``` let sym1 = Symbol("foo"); let sym2 = Symbol(); let o = { [sym1]: function(){}, [sym2]: function(){} }; o[sym1].name; // "[foo]" o[sym2].name; // "" ``` ## Specifications | Specification | |---| | [ECMAScript (ECMA-262) The definition of 'name' in that specification.](https://tc39.es/ecma262/#sec-function-instances-name) | ## Browser compatibility The compatibility table on this page is generated from structured data.
