How can i get object name in Javascript

Question

How can i get object name in JAVASCRIPT

--

let smthng = {1,2,3}

console.log(smthng.toString(),smthng);

-> my expect : smthng {1,2,3}

easiest way to get a similar result is to do `console.log({smthng});` — Nick Parsons, Feb 05 '20 at 02:49
hm, you're right, I guess it might be a little easier for debugging, to see what variable names hold which values ( rather than typing console.log('smthng', smthng) ) — Nick Parsons, Feb 05 '20 at 02:53
Does this answer your question? [Variable name as a string in Javascript](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4602141/variable-name-as-a-string-in-javascript) — Văn Quyết, Feb 05 '20 at 02:53
Objects in JavaScript do not intrinsically have names unless you create a property on your own that you consider to be its name. A variable initialized to an object literal is definitely **not** the "name" of the object; it's just a variable. — Pointy, Feb 05 '20 at 02:56
@Pointy Thank you now i got i might rather attribute new property on object — jamiesomethinggood, Feb 05 '20 at 02:57

let smthng = {a:1,b:2,c:3}
console.log({ smthng: smthng }) // or console.log({ smthng }); should print {smthng:{a:1,b:2,c:3}}

sorry My desc was short i was trying to catch variable name on console so let smthng = [1,2,3] i need my console to be printed as //// smthng : [1,2,3] //// one another example let another = [1,2,3] i need my console to be printed as //// another : [1,2,3] //// one another example – jamiesomethinggood Feb 05 '20 at 02:57
console.log({ smthng }) or console.log({ another }) will do what you want. Both will print {smthng:[1,2,3]} and {another:[1,2,3]} – Ethan Doh Feb 05 '20 at 03:04
While this code may answer the question, providing additional context regarding why and/or how this code answers the question improves its long-term value. – RyanNerd Feb 05 '20 at 06:45
