class - Create a JavaScript function dynamically from a string name

Given a string classname, I want to dynamically create a new JavaScript function named after that string that can be used to instantiate objects.

I've tried using eval() but for some reason the declared function does not appear in the global (window) scope.

eval( "function " + classname + "() {}" );
window[ classname ]; // => undefined

Is there a way I can dynamically create a new function named after a string?

Or, alternatively, give me some way to reference the created function after creating it via eval. Interestingly it appears as a local variable when I debug it in Safari.

Update:

Got it! Of course it's obvious, I just use eval again to create the instance:

var myInstance = eval( "new " + classname );
myInstance.constructor.name; // => classname (yay)

This should work in my case because I only need to create one instance of the class right after it's declared. For the general case though see Pointy's answer.

Yes:

window[classname] = function() { ... };

Now, in honesty, that's not exactly like what you were attempting, but it's pretty close. When you instantiate a function via a function expression like that, and without a name, the function can't refer to itself except via the name in the outer scope (in this case, the global scope).

If that's important, what you could do is this: create the function with some stock "internal" name, and then assign it to the global name:

function secretName() { ... }

window[classname] = secretName;
