[DevTools] Support Flow syntax for named hooks parsing #21793

Closed

Description

@bvaughn

DevTools tells Babel to parse the source code using "jsx" and "typescript" plug-ins:
https://github.com/facebook/react/blob/ed6c091fe961a3b95e956ebcefe8f152177b1fb7/packages/react-devtools-extensions/src/parseHookNames.js#L446-L462

This will work for some simple usages of Flow, but syntax may diverge and cause the parsing to fail.

Let's scan the source code for a @flow pragma and pass "flow" instead of "typescript" if one is found.


We should also add tests for both Flow and TypeScript to the test component pool:

    I think something as basic as this should work:

    function getBabelPluginsList(originalSourceCode: string): Array<string> {
      const plugin = originalSourceCode.indexOf('@flow') > 0 ? 'flow' : 'typescript';
      return ['jsx', plugin];
    }
