Description

Hey, I was recently looking at the docs and I found a code example that didn't work.
CodeSandbox for reference
Docs reference

This throws me this error -

Element type is invalid: expected a string (for built-in components) or a class/function (for composite components) but got: undefined. You likely forgot to export your component from the file it's defined in, or you might have mixed up default and named imports.

Check the render method of `TodoList`.

I guess this is some gotcha with imports.

Thanks.

Research direction

Open the Docs reference at the High-level API: ReactCSSTransitionGroup section and reproduce the failure using the linked CodeSandbox. Compare the example's imports with the ReactCSSTransitionGroup API, then verify that the corrected example renders without the invalid element type error.
