Get the function name

Question

How can I get the function name in strict mode? I don't want to say functionName.name, I want a way so that I can just copy and paste that line and put it in any function and get the name. The reason is because I would like to see when functions in my file are getting called. There are many of them and knowing the ordering would be helpful.

For example:

myFunction : function(){

    console.log(this.name); // should print out myFunction

}

There is already answer to your question, I guess: Get current function name in strict mode

function logIt(message) {
    var stack = new Error().stack,
        caller = stack.split('\n')[2].trim();
    console.log(caller + ":" + message);
}

function a(b) {
    b()
}

a(function xyz() {
    logIt('hello');
});
