    anon: function () {},
};
assert.equal(obj.concise.name, 'concise');
assert.equal(obj.arrow.name, 'arrow');
assert.equal(obj.named.name, 'named');
assert.equal(obj.anon.name, 'anon');

assert.equal(setFunctionName(obj.concise, 'brief'), obj.concise);
assert.equal(setFunctionName(obj.arrow, 'pointy'), obj.arrow);
assert.equal(setFunctionName(obj.named, ''), obj.named);
assert.equal(setFunctionName(obj.anon, 'anonymous'), obj.anon);

Similar packages

Other packages similar to set-function-name

function-name

The `function-name` package offers functionality to get or set a function's name. Compared to `set-function-name`, it provides a more comprehensive solution by not only allowing the setting of a function's name but also retrieving it. This can be particularly useful in scenarios where you need to manipulate and inspect function names dynamically.

rename-function

Similar to `set-function-name`, the `rename-function` package allows for the renaming of functions. However, it might offer a different implementation or additional features such as compatibility with more environments or stricter error handling. The choice between `set-function-name` and `rename-function` could come down to specific project requirements or personal preference.
