TypeScript: Getting a class/constructor of the object at runtime
<p>For debugging purposes, I want a <code>toString()</code> method of an abstract class to print of which subclass the instance actually is.</p>

<pre><code>abstract FrameModel {
    ...
    public toString() {
        var classOfThis = ?????;
        return `FrameModel&lt;${classOfThis}&gt;#${this.vertexId}`;
    }
}
</code></pre>

<p>Also it would be great if I could use that class in TypeScript to access the <code>static</code> members; in other words, if I got the JavaScript constructor function to which TypeScript puts the <code>static</code> fields.</p>

<p>I've tried </p>

<pre><code>var classOfThis = Object.getPrototypeOf(this).constructor;
</code></pre>

<p>But that's not it :)</p>
