Get javascript class name or typeof in parent constructor

Question

I have two classes in Javascript like this:

class Parent {
    constructor(){
        console.log(typeof this);
    }
}

class Child extends Parent {
    constru         


        

Answer 1

this.constructor will return the constructor function with which the objet was created. You could access this.constructor.name if you need a string.

class Parent {
    constructor(){
        console.log(this.constructor.name);
    }
}

class Child extends Parent {
    constructor(){
        super();
    }
}

new Child(); // Child
new Parent(); // Parent
