Adds a `@enableNameAnonymousFunctions` feature to infer helpful names for anonymous functions within components and hooks. The logic is inspired by a custom Next.js transform, flagged to us by @eps1lon, that does something similar. Implementing this transform within React Compiler means that all React (Compiler) users can benefit from more helpful names when debugging.
The idea builds on the fact that JS engines try to infer helpful names for anonymous functions (in stack traces) when those functions are accessed through an object property lookup:
```js
({'a[xyz]': () => {
throw new Error('hello!')
} }['a[xyz]'])()
// Stack trace:
Uncaught Error: hello!
at a[xyz] (<anonymous>:1:26) // <-- note the name here
at <anonymous>:1:60
```
The new NameAnonymousFunctions transform is gated by the above flag, which is off by default. It attemps to infer names for functions as follows:
First, determine a "local" name:
* Assigning a function to a named variable uses the variable name. `const f = () => {}` gets the name "f".
* Passing the function as an argument to a function gets the name of the function, ie `foo(() => ...)` get the name "foo()", `foo.bar(() => ...)` gets the name "foo.bar()". Note the parenthesis to help understand that it was part of a call.
* Passing the function to a known hook uses the name of the hook, `useEffect(() => ...)` uses "useEffect()".
* Passing the function as a JSX prop uses the element and attr name, eg `<div onClick={() => ...}` uses "<div>.onClick".
Second, the local name is combined with the name of the outer component/hook, so the final names will be strings like `Component[f]` or `useMyHook[useEffect()]`.
React · 
React is a JavaScript library for building user interfaces.
- Declarative: React makes it painless to create interactive UIs. Design simple views for each state in your application, and React will efficiently update and render just the right components when your data changes. Declarative views make your code more predictable, simpler to understand, and easier to debug.
- Component-Based: Build encapsulated components that manage their own state, then compose them to make complex UIs. Since component logic is written in JavaScript instead of templates, you can easily pass rich data through your app and keep the state out of the DOM.
- Learn Once, Write Anywhere: We don't make assumptions about the rest of your technology stack, so you can develop new features in React without rewriting existing code. React can also render on the server using Node and power mobile apps using React Native.

Installation
React has been designed for gradual adoption from the start, and you can use as little or as much React as you need:
- Use Quick Start to get a taste of React.
- Add React to an Existing Project to use as little or as much React as you need.
- Create a New React App if you're looking for a powerful JavaScript toolchain.
Documentation
You can find the React documentation on the website.
Check out the Getting Started page for a quick overview.
The documentation is divided into several sections:
- Quick Start
- Tutorial
- Thinking in React
- Installation
- Describing the UI
- Adding Interactivity
- Managing State
- Advanced Guides
- API Reference
- Where to Get Support

Examples
We have several examples on the website. Here is the first one to get you started:
import { createRoot } from 'react-dom/client';
function HelloMessage({ name }) {
return <div>Hello {name}</div>;
}
const root = createRoot(document.getElementById('container'));
root.render(<HelloMessage name="Taylor" />);
This example will render "Hello Taylor" into a container on the page.
You'll notice that we used an HTML-like syntax; we call it JSX. JSX is not required to use React, but it makes code more readable, and writing it feels like writing HTML.
