Imported propTypes of dependencies

[fab1an]

I often nest my proptypes like this:

class Parent extends React.Component {
    static propTypes = {
        something: pt.string.isRequired,
        child: pt.shape(Child.propTypes).isRequired
    }
}

react-docgen gives me

"type": {
    "name": "shape",
    "value": "unkown"
},

for the parameter. Can I somehow make it give me Child? I tried using instanceOf() but that didn't work either.

Yeah, at the very least it should give you access to the string representation of the value, i.e. Child.propTpyes.

Now you will be getting

"type": {
  "name": "shape",
  "value": "Child.propTypes",
  "computed": true
}

which is more in line with how the other types work. We may change the structure in the future, but that's still a bit out (if we do it at all).

I don't know yet when I'm going to release the next version.
