Description

There should be a way to determine the type of a Hyperloop Object in order to type check it if needed. This could be done using the .apiName concept used in Titanium or perhaps a className property on the object.

This may already exist, can we confirm that the function isInstanceOf returns the expected ClassName?

Already implemented via the instanceof operator.

   ar Activity = require('android.app.Activity');
   var Context = require('android.content.Context');
   var View = require('android.view.View');
   var currentActivity = new Activity(Ti.Android.currentActivity);
   console.log(currentActivity instanceof Activity); // Prints true
   console.log(currentActivity instanceof Context); // Prints true
   console.log(currentActivity instanceof View); // Prints false
