Is there an equivalent for retrieving the name of a function just like like __MODULE__
retrieves the name of a Module in Elixir/Erlang?
Example:
defmodule Demo do
def home_menu do
module_name = __MODULE__
func_name = :home_menu
# is there a __FUNCTION__
end
End
EDITED
The selected answer works,
but calling the returned function name with apply/3 yields this error:
[error] %UndefinedFunctionError{arity: 4, exports: nil, function: :public_home, module: Demo, reason: nil}
I have a function:
defp public_home(u, m, msg, reset) do
end
The function in question will strictly be called within its module.
Is there a way to dynamically call a private function by name within its own module?
▶ defmodule M, do: def m, do: __ENV__.function
▶ M.m
#⇒ {:m, 0}
Essentially, __ENV__
structure contains everything you might need.
Yes, there is. In Erlang there are several predefined macros that should be able to provide the information you need:
% The name of the current function
?FUNCTION_NAME
% The arity of the current function (remember name alone isn't enough to identify a function in Erlang/Elixir)
?FUNCTION_ARITY
% The file name of the current module
?FILE
% The line number of the current line
?LINE
