How to get a JavaScript object's class?

Question

I created a JavaScript object, but how I can determine the class of that object?

I want something similar to Java\'s .getClass() method.

There is one another technique to identify your class You can store ref to your class in instance like bellow.

class MyClass {
    static myStaticProperty = 'default';
    constructor() {
        this.__class__ = new.target;
        this.showStaticProperty = function() {
            console.log(this.__class__.myStaticProperty);
        }
    }
}

class MyChildClass extends MyClass {
    static myStaticProperty = 'custom';
}

let myClass = new MyClass();
let child = new MyChildClass();

myClass.showStaticProperty(); // default
child.showStaticProperty(); // custom

myClass.__class__ === MyClass; // true
child.__class__ === MyClass; // false
child.__class__ === MyChildClass; // true
