Is it possible for a piece of JavaScript code to refer to itself? That is, can I programmatically build a variable such that its value is the raw text content of the JavaScript file declaring it?
Try,
(function foo() { var f = foo.toString(); return f; })()
where f
is a variable as you describe. This also returns itself as string just for good measure.
(function () { return arguments.callee.toString(); })()
Almost the same thing as the selected answer, w/o the variable storage of the string, or the function name. Neither really refers to itself. You can't do something like $(this).closest('script')
to refer to the JS file in the DOM.
What you can do is something similar to this :
var w = window;
w.stored = [];
w.scripts = document.getElementsByTagName('script');
w.stored.push(w.scripts[ w.scripts.length - 1 ]);
As stated, this can be done because the DOM loads scripts sequentially. You can refer to all the scripts that did this like w.stored[0]
. Using jQuery you could do $(w.stored[0]).text()

It is possible for a function to refer to itself using arguments.callee (ECMA-262 10.6). I think it's not available in strict mode but that shouldn't be too much of an issue. You can call the function's toString method to get an implementation-dependent representation of the function
, which is typically a string equivalent to the source code that created it, but it may not be.

Not in a general sense, eg you can't do:
var x = 'x';
getVaue(x); // var x = 'x';
if that is what you mean.
