How do you find out the caller function in JavaScript?

Question

function main()
{
   Hello();
}

function Hello()
{
  // How do you find out the caller function is \'main\'?
}

Is there a way to find out the call

Answer 1

As far as I know, we have 2 way for this from given sources like this-

1. arguments.caller

   function whoCalled()
   {
       if (arguments.caller == null)
          console.log('I was called from the global scope.');
       else
          console.log(arguments.caller + ' called me!');
   }
   

2. Function.caller

   function myFunc()
   {
      if (myFunc.caller == null) {
         return 'The function was called from the top!';
      }
      else
      {
         return 'This function\'s caller was ' + myFunc.caller;
       }
   }
   

Think u have your answer :).
