Get backbone model name

Given a Backbone model or backbone model instance, I would like to get the model's name. For instance:

var p = new Person(); // Person is a BB model.
console.log(p.getNameAsStringOrSomething()); //Prints "Person"

Thats it, pretty simple :D

You can try 

model.constructor.name

However, it will not work if you have a minifier like Jammit, the constructor will change after packaging and also on chrome you it might not work

I would suggest you to have a class property then you can get the name by simply using

var obj = model.constructor.propertyName
