Description

Following code reports Error: "No suitable component definition found using"

export default ({ SomeComponent }) =>
  class Button extends Component {
    static propTypes = {
      label: PropTypes.string
    };

    render() {
      return <SomeComponent />;
    }
  };

Removing arrow fn and options solves it:

export default
  class Button extends Component {
    static propTypes = {
      label: PropTypes.string
    };

    render() {
      return <SomeComponent />;
    }
}

Any solution?

Using: react-docgen@v2 and react-docgen@v3.0.0-beta12

Research direction

Start by reproducing the supplied export syntax with react-docgen v2 and v3.0.0-beta12, then compare it with the class export that succeeds. Trace the component-definition detection for the arrow-function form; done means the reported syntax is handled without the error and the behavior is covered by a regression test.
