You can use new.target pseudo-property to detect whether a function was called as a constructor(using the new operator) or as a regular function call.
1. If a constructor or function invoked using the new operator, new.target returns a reference to the constructor or function.
2. For function calls, new.target is undefined.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 | function Myfunc() { if (new.target) { console.log('called with new'); } else { console.log('not called with new'); } } new Myfunc(); // called with new Myfunc(); // not called with new Myfunc.call({}); not called with new |
