How do I get a module name programmatically?

Development Programming & Scripting C++

For example, how one would achieve this:



void FMyModule::StartupModule()

{

    FName myModuleName = /* ??? */;


}

I see module names are used in FModuleManager, but how can I acquire my module’s name programmatically in the module code?

Why would you need that when the string is already visible in your *IModuleInterface *?

One way to do it would be to declare the module name as a static variable of your module.



// .h
class ICustomModule : IModuleInterface
{
    static FName ModuleName;
}

// .cpp (outside a function)
FName ICustomModule::ModuleName = FName(TEXT("CustomModule"));

// in action
ICustomModule& Mod = FModuleManager::GetModuleChecked<ICustomModule>(ICustomModule::ModuleName);
