Returns the name of a ViewModel. ViewModelName is available within the context of a ViewModel.

selfVM.ViewModelName

Purpose:

To prevent mistakes when ViewModels are renamed.

To ensure logic always knows the correct ViewModel name.

To work consistently across all ViewModels.

Does not depend on fragile strings.

To help with debugging by showing the active ViewModel.

Example:

To log a ViewModel opened by a user:

Logger.Log('Opened ViewModel: ' + selfVM.ViewModelName)

If the user opened OrderSummaryVM, the log becomes:

Opened ViewModel: OrderSummaryVM

If the ViewModel is renamed to OrderSummaryPage, the expression returns the new name automatically.
