Given an instance of Backbone model, how can I know the “class” (so to speak) of this instance ?
For instance:
class Car extends Backbone.Model
mycar = new Car()
And what I need is:
mycar.modelName # => 'Car'
It’s problematic in general, I think. I was going to suggest some of the options mentioned here ( How do I get the name of an object's type in JavaScript? ) but I was having issues with the first option. You could always extend all your models to have a function that returned a “name” for the model, but I can understand why you might find that less than satisfactory.
