Package Exports

function-name

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (function-name) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

node-function-name

Set the "name" property of `Function` objects

Very simple module. Sets the non-writable name property of Function objects. In older versions of node, this functionality is exposed internally to V8, but not exposed to JavaScript, so a native module is required. In newer versions of node, function names can be redefined with Object.defineProperty, which this module uses.

Note that unfortunately only String values are allowed.

NOTE: For users of node prior to iojs@3.0.0, you'll need to use an earlier version of this module, function-name@1, which provides a C++ implementation.

Installation

Install with npm:

$ npm install function-name

Example

var set = require('function-name');

function test () {
  throw new Error('blah');
}

console.log(test.name);
// "test"

// change the "name" property to 'foo'
set(test, 'foo');

console.log(test.name);
// "foo"

// spaces, and even usually illegal UTF8 chars, are allowed
set(test, '   ☃   ');

console.log(test.name);
// "   ☃   "

// the newly set "name" also appears in stack traces!
test();
// Error: blah
//     at    ☃    (/Users/nrajlich/node-function-name/t.js:4:9)
//     at Object.<anonymous> (/Users/nrajlich/node-function-name/t.js:23:1)
//     at Module._compile (module.js:449:26)
//     at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:467:10)
//     at Module.load (module.js:356:32)
//     at Function.Module._load (module.js:312:12)
//     at Module.runMain (module.js:492:10)

That's it!
