get state

[casey]

I'm trying to get the name of the current state that I am in. getCurrentState() returns a whole lot of information, including but not limited to the  specific state name. 

How do I just return the current state (i.e. 'myCurrentState')?

var myCurrentState = {
    preload: function () {
	
	},
    
    create: function () {
		
        game.stage.backgroundColor = '#cce5ff';   
		
		var test = game.state.getCurrentState();
				console.log(test);  //logs out way too much info
			
	}
	};

It's not "too much info", it's just the whole state object. If you're looking just for an identifier, try this:

game.state.getCurrentState().key

It will give you the key you used to add the state to the state manager.

Aha! That's what I was looking for. Thank you.
