[lively-kernel] finding a class

[Tim Felgentreff]

The TodoItemProto in this example isn't a class. It's the name of a morph
somewhere in the world. Finding it's class won't be useful.

  Thanks Lars, the programmatic method you explained  is very useful.
However I was interested in a manual method to find a class. either in the
System Code Browser or thru the world menu

Hello Carlos,
in oder to get to the TodoItemProto class, just ask the morph for its
constructor. When printed, that gives you the class' name. If you want to
know where the class is from, ask the constructor for it's source module:

 var klass = this.get("TodoItemProto").constructor
var source = this.get("TodoItemProto").constructor.sourceModule

 Methods defined using the lively class scheme have an attribute
"declaredClass" which contains a string which should yield the class object
upon evaluation.
