Object constructor name

Question

Good day, the question is solely for educational purposes:

var DomAPICanvas = document.createElement("canvas"); var jQueryCanvas = $("<canvas>"); console.log(DomAPICanvas.constructor); // HTMLElementCanvas function console.log(jQueryCanvas.constructor); // JQuery function

Actually, I understand perfectly why jQueryCanvas.constructor behaves in this way (chaining), I am interested in the following: is there an opportunity to get the present values of the constructor? And if so, how?

The real value of the constructor can be obtained only with access to the original object / element. ( $("<canvas>")[0] )

That is, the code will look like this:

 var DomAPICanvas = document.createElement("canvas"); var jQueryCanvas = $("<canvas>"); console.log(DomAPICanvas.constructor); // HTMLElementCanvas function console.log(jQueryCanvas[0].constructor); // HTMLElementCanvas function
