How to get the name of variable

Question

I have

let name = 'enzo'
let age = 20

if I log name console.log(name) and age console.log(age), it will show

enzo
20

but I expected to this effect

console.log("name:",name)
console.log("age:",age)

it will show

name: enzo
age: 20

so how can I get the name of variable?

You already seem to know the names of your variables. It's very unclear what you're asking — Phil, Aug 25 '17 at 01:43
How do you plan to use the variables at all if you don't know their name? — David, Aug 25 '17 at 01:49
It looks like you answered your own question with this code? `console.log("name:",name)` I'm confused what you're asking. — , Aug 25 '17 at 01:51
Xinyang Li is right, I want to get the variable name at runtime!! — 陆仁贾, Aug 26 '17 at 09:30

One option is to use shorthand property names in object initializers:

let name = "enzo";
let age  = 20;

console.log({name});
console.log({age});

Does that solve your problem?
