where are stored declared class in javascript? [duplicate]

Question

In browser environment (for instance firefox 60+), I am trying to retrieve a class in the global window object, without success :

class c{};
console.log(window.c); // undefined

whereas for any other declaration

var foo = "bar";
console.log(window.foo); // bar

Where can I access declared class in the global object, for instance, if I need to create an instance from a class name stored in another variable.

Thank you.

Store the classes in a Map or an object, not in the global window object. — Bergi

This should work

var Test = class {}
