React devtools also use the displayName property when displaying the component tree.\n\nFirefox does some basic attempts to decode the displayName that's possibly generated by the anonymous JavaScript functions naming convention algorithm. The following patterns are detected\n\nIf displayName ends with a sequence of alphanumeric characters, _, and $, the longest such suffix is displayed. If displayName ends with a sequence of []-enclosed characters, that sequence is displayed without the square brackets. If displayName ends with a sequence of alphanumeric characters and _ followed by some /, ., or <, the sequence is returned without the trailing /, ., or < characters. If displayName ends with a sequence of alphanumeric characters and _ followed by (^), the sequence is displayed without the (^).\n\nIf none of the above patterns match, the entire displayName is displayed.\n\nAttribution: Adapted from MDN Web Docs under CC-BY-SA-2.5.
