Inversify : contextual injection with class name

Question

I am trying to inject loggers into different classes using inversify . I want to pass the target class name to the logger to categorize it.

The problem is I can't access the target name from where i'm creating the binding:

container.bind<log4js.Logger>(Types.Logger).toDynamicValue(context => {
    let className = context....?; // Finds class name
    return log4js.getLogger(className);
});

Is there any way of doing this other than setting it once the logger is created in the object receiving the logger?

Thank you!

Update :
This new feature makes it possible to access the class name from the context. The name will be minified though. This can be solved by comparing against the class.

container.bind<Warrior>(TYPE.Warrior)to(Ninja).inActivation((context) => {
    const currentClass = context.currentRequest.bindings[0].implementationType;
    if (currentClass) {
        if (currentClass === Ninja) {
            // ...
        }
    }
