Map JSON data to Knockout observableArray with specific view model type

Check this http://jsfiddle.net/pTEbA/268/

Object.prototype.getName = function() { 
   var funcNameRegex = /function (.{1,})\(/;
   var results = (funcNameRegex).exec((this).constructor.toString());
   return (results && results.length > 1) ? results[1] : "";
};

function StateViewModel(data){
    this.name = ko.observable();
    ko.mapping.fromJS(data, mapping, this);
}

function CityViewModel(data) {
    this.name = ko.observable();
    ko.mapping.fromJS(data, mapping, this);
}

function StreetViewModel(data) {
    this.name = ko.observable();
    ko.mapping.fromJS(data, mapping, this);
}

var mapping = {
    'cities': {
        create: function(options) {
            return new CityViewModel(options.data);
        }
    },
    'streets': {
        create: function(options) {
            return new StreetViewModel(options.data);
        }
    }
}


var data = { state: {name:'SD', cities:[{name:'Sioux Falls',streets:[{number:1},{number:3}]},
                                        {name:'Rapid City',streets:[{number:2},{number:4}]}]}};

var vm = new StateViewModel(data.state)
console.log(vm);
console.log(vm.getName());
console.log(vm.cities());
console.log(vm.cities()[0].getName());
console.log(vm.cities()[0].streets());
console.log(vm.cities()[0].streets()[0].getName());
