Function
object's read-only
name
property indicates the function's name as specified when it was created, or it may be rather
anonymous
or
''
(an empty string) for functions created anonymously.

警告:
Be careful when using
Function.name
and source code transformations, such as those carried out by JavaScript compressors (minifiers) or obfuscators. 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.
name
property returns the name of a function statement.
function doSomething() {}
doSomething.name; // "doSomething"
Functions created with the syntax
new Function(...)
or just
Function(...)
create
Function
objects and their name is "anonymous".
(new Function).name; // "anonymous"
Anonymous function expressions that were created using the keyword
function
or arrow functions would have
""
(an empty string) as their name.
(function() {}).name; // ""
(() => {}).name; // ""
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 函数表达式 :
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()
.
var o = {
foo(){}
};
o.foo.name; // "foo";
Function.bind()
produces a function whose name is "bound " plus the function name.
function foo() {};
foo.bind({}).name; // "bound foo"
当使用
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";
可以使用
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"
警告:
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
). 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
+
12.2.6.9
).
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()
方法
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
凭借
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
只读
:
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.
若
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; // ""
