The name of the calling function can be obtained via the deprecated arguments.callee.caller.name property ^{MDN: arguments.callee}.

Another method is by parsing the value of new Error().stack.

In Chrome you can use:

var stackTrace = {}:;
Error.captureStackTrace(stackTrace); // Get the stack trace
stackTrace = stackTrace.stack;       // Formatted string

The name of the calling function can be obtained via the deprecated arguments.callee.caller.name property ^{MDN: arguments.callee}.

Another method is by parsing the value of new Error().stack.

In Chrome you can use:

var stackTrace = {}:
Error.captureStackTrace(stackTrace); // Get the stack trace
stackTrace = stackTrace.stack;       // Formatted string

The name of the calling function can be obtained via the deprecated arguments.callee.caller.name property ^{MDN: arguments.callee}.

Another method is by parsing the value of new Error().stack.

In Chrome you can use:

var stackTrace = {};
Error.captureStackTrace(stackTrace); // Get the stack trace
stackTrace = stackTrace.stack;       // Formatted string
