Description

Hi there, I'm implementing some kind of devtool.

  const getInfo = useGetRecoilValueInfo_UNSTABLE();
  const info = getInfo(someAtomOrSelector);
  console.log(Array.from(info.subscribers.components));

With this code, I got something like

[
    {
        "name": "<component name not available>"
    },
    {
        "name": "<component name not available>"
    },
    {
        "name": "<component name not available>"
    }
]

It seems the count of the array is correct, but I couldn't get the components' names. All of my components are type of (...) => JSX.Element. How can I get the component name properly?

EDIT; recoil version "recoil": "^0.5.2"

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the Recoil source code in packages/recoil/hooks/useGetRecoilValueInfo.js to trace how subscribers.components is populated. Check if component names are only available in development mode or if components must be defined with a displayName. Review existing comments in the issue for suggestions. Consider submitting a feature request to add component names or document the limitation.
