## Install

Requires [Node](https://nodejs.org/en/) version 6 or above.

```sh
npm install --save its-name
```

## Use

If you have a test instance, for example when running Mocha you can find
the list of names starting from the top level `describe` down to the test's
own name. From inside test just pass `this` instance.

```js
const itsName = require('its-name')
describe('its-name', () => {
describe('nested describe', () => {
context('inner context', () => {
it('finds all names', function () {
const names = itsName(this)
// ["its-name", "nested-describe", "inner context", "finds all names"]
})
})
})
})
```

**Note:** if the test instance is an arrow function - its context will NOT
be the test object, instead it will be the parent closure.

```js
const itsName = require('its-name')
it('works', function () {
itsName(this)
// ["works"]
})
it('does not work', () => {
itsName(this)
// throws an error
})
```
