`require-optimization` should ignore components not extending `React.Component`

[rake5k]

We use a base class to extend our Components, so we do not have to optimize each Component on its own:

import React from 'react';
import shouldPureComponentUpdate from 'react-pure-render/function';

// Optimized base class:
export default class Component extends React.Component {

    shouldComponentUpdate(...args) {
        return Reflect.apply(shouldPureComponentUpdate, this, args);
    }

}

However, require-optimization is complaining that the Components extending this base class were not optimized.

Using a base class is a bad practice (article by the React team: https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/composition-vs-inheritance.html) - however, this plugin supports a JSDoc-style annotation you can add in a comment above all of your components to indicate they are react components.

What I'd recommend instead is importing shouldPureComponentUpdate in every single component rather than using inheritance to solve that problem (or using a decorator).

@christianharke, the plugin doesn't look for React.Component or React.PureComponent, it looks for Component and PureComponent. Notice the lack of the React. prefix. You could rename your base Component class to BaseComponent or anything that isn't Component or PureComponent and this would stop the plugin from treating the class like a React component.

Looking at the source, the React. prefix (React being the pragma) is treated as optional. So,
it looks for all of the following:

• Component
• React.Component
• PureComponent
• React.PureComponent

(assuming pragma is set to the default of React)

Thank you @jpickwell!

Just renaming the variable from Compontent to BaseComponent while importing fixed the issue.
