JAVASCRIPT :

A = {
    x : funciton(){

    },
    y : function(){

    }
}

What do I want?

I want to write a sublime snippet which when invoked inside x or y function, should be able to get the function name and put it.

Example - The DocBlockr plugin automatically gets the name/arguments of a method before which you create the block by hittin /** and hit Enter

I know how to write basic snippets but not sure whether a snippet can get the names or tokens from a file. Not even sure if it is possible.

NOTE - I could not do much by myself as I cant figure out where to start for this one.

This is not possible with Snippets. They cant "look" at the surrounding code and do actions based on that. You would have to write a Sublimetext-plugin do to that.

Looking at the sourcecode of DocBlockr should give you an idea how to do that; The file jsdocs.py contains methods like parseFunction() and getArgType(), which extract the functionname and parameters using Regular Expressions.

NOTE: this doesn't directly answer the question, but chances are it solves your problem - if it happens that you just need it for debugging purposes. I'd submit it as a comment, but not enough reputation yet.

Try this:

arguments.callee.name

However note:

  • this is not a ST feature, it's a JS feature to get function name
  • this feature is actually discouraged, chances are it can hurt performance - so development mode only
  • it's actually forbidden in strict mode
  • it won't work with anonymous functions like in your snippet - you will need to give your functions a name x: function x() {}
  • some browsers may not support name properties for functions
