Squirrel

Hi Guys,
I'm trying to extract the name of the class from an object in squirrel.
How do I do so without specifying the object's _typeof metamethod?

class Object
{
// Code here
}

local obj = Object();
obj.getclass().name?

The class doesn't have a concept of name, when you do a class Object{} you actually create a field named "Object" into the root table which points to the Object class.

Here are some alternatives:

class Object
{
    static ClassName = "Object"
}

class Object2 < ClassName = "Object2" >
{
    function GetClassName()
    {
         return getclass().getattributes().ClassName;
    }
}


local obj = Object();
print(obj.ClassName);

local obj2 = Object2();
print(obj2.GetClassName());
