Summary 💡

In production builds of the application

process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production'

all MUI components are anonymous and do not tell the developer which component was rendered.
I am searching for a solution which help to identify the underlying component such as TextField.

Examples 🌈

No response

Motivation 🔦

I am the author of mui-validate a validation library for MUI components.
To validate inputs the MUI components need to be wrapped with higher order components which need to be able to identify the wrapped childs type i.e. TextField.

A solution could have ben to access the childs displayName but this is stripped out in production builds from your side.

Research direction

Start by examining how MUI components expose displayName and how production builds behave under process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production', using TextField as the example. Define what supported component identification should look like for wrapped components and verify it in a production build; the issue names no files or tests, so repository discovery is required.
