AngularJS Get current factory/service name

Ola!

I was just playing around with angular's factories and services and I just noticed that I can't get the current name of the factory/service. At least I couldn't get any resources about that.
For example so its a bit more clear I have a factory, like this;

.factory('GuessImAFactory', [function() {

    var factoryName = this.yadayada.name; //<- This actually doesn't work,
                                             //if you haven't guessed

    //<--Some other code goes here-->

    return something;
}])

So the question does anyone know the trick how to get the name of it?

Try this one: factoryObject.__proto__.constructor.name

I don't think this is possible. In callback function you can't get actual instance of factory since you are defining it right in that place. In other works, it's not yet created.

However, simple workaround for this would be to hard code it.. Since you probably won't have dynamic factories, you could just simply say

var factoryName = 'GuessImAFactory';

and use it if needed.
