Does not work for imported anonymous stateless functional components

For components created using pure functions, the response is 'function(props) ....'.

Hi @Bhargav175 do you think you can add a failing test case and submit a PR? Would be AWE-SOME

[imbhargav5]

Sure, will give it a shot.

Doesn't work

 export default function(props){...}

Works

 export default function Flexbox(props){ ... }

I think there's no way to do what you want: the anonymous function has no function.name so we cannot render it to a string since we do not know the function name.

if you console.log(<AnonymousStatelessComponent/>) you will see that JSX did not find any name for the component so we cannot stringify it.

Is that clear? Do you have another idea?

I have reworked the PR, see the master

What we could do here is turn any anonymous component to render into a string like and then compare them. The comparison will work if you compare anonymous component.

What do you think?

[imbhargav5]

Will it work? Like you said, I dont see any property of that we could use to figure out the name.

Also @Bhargav175 I would advise you to always use named components because when you use react-dev-tool you will have the same issue as this module.

I will update it to make it work because it's an easy fix but please use named components

[vvo]

Will it work?

Yes

Sure. Thanks @vvo .
