API

Returns an array of callsite objects with the following methods:

  • getTypeName: returns the type of this as a string. This is the name of the function stored in the constructor field of this, if available, otherwise the object's [[Class]] internal property.

  • getFunctionName: returns the name of the current function, typically its name property. If a name property is not available an attempt will be made to try to infer a name from the function's context.

  • getMethodName: returns the name of the property of this or one of its prototypes that holds the current function

  • getFileName: if this function was defined in a script returns the name of the script

  • getLineNumber: if this function was defined in a script returns the current line number

  • getColumnNumber: if this function was defined in a script returns the current column number

  • getEvalOrigin: if this function was created using a call to eval returns a CallSite object representing the location where eval was called

  • isToplevel: is this a top-level invocation, that is, is this the global object?

  • isEval: does this call take place in code defined by a call to eval?

  • isNative: is this call in native V8 code?

  • isConstructor: is this a constructor call?
