Getting the name of a defined object with a constructor

I'm trying to get the name of an object and put it in an array after it's defined, I tried doing this code, but the name ended up being undefined any help?

function command(category, help, callback) {
  this.category = category;
  this.help = help;
  this.do = callback;

  cmndlist[category].push(this.name);
};

Objects do not have a name or name property (unless you add one yourself). If you're referring to the variable name that references the object, that is not possible to access.

Let's say you create an object named "foo":

var foo = new command("category", "help", "callback");

If you want to add foo to the array cmndlist[category], you just need to use this:

cmndlist[category].push(this.objectName);

And it will work!
