How to determine parent class of Component?

[Moop204]

If I needed to take the parent of a Component, how would I be able to determine if it is a Model or another Component?

I'll answer for C++,

auto component = std::dynamic_pointer_cast<libcellml::Component>(entity->parent())
auto model = std::dynamic_pointer_cast<libcellml::Model>(entity->parent())
if (component != nullptr) {
  // it's a component.
} else if (model != nullptr) {
  // it's a model.
}

Thank you, to be complete I will also include the javascript solution.

component = new libcellml.Component();
...
parent = component.parent(); 
if (parent instanceof libcellml.Component) {
  // Component
} else {
  // Model
}
