How to get an object name?

Question

I have the following code snippet

function receiver(callback)
{
    console.log( callback );
}

function callback(){}

receiver( new callback() );

OUTPUT: callback {}

is there a method or way to get 'callback' out of callback parameter? I like to get an object's name.

Answer 1

> function callback(){}
undefined
> a = new callback();
[object Object]
> a.constructor.name
callback>

But, it won't work for any anonymous functions (everything is in the title):

> callback = function(){};
function () {}
> c = new callback();
[object Object]
> c.constructor.name
(empty string)

Answer 2

Try:

function receiver(callback){
    console.log(callback.constructor.name);
}

function callback(){}

receiver(new callback());
