Research direction

Reproduce the issue by copying the cookiecutter component, renaming it, and exporting the new component in the stated places. Inspect init.py and the dash-generate-components entry point, then verify whether async-NewComponent*.js is generated and discoverable by the browser without manual updates to async_resources.

Description

Hi,

I started trying my way around async components and I was having some issues when I added a second component to the library. To reproduce it, just copy the one created by cookiecutter, refactor the name to something else and export it in the right places...

The issue was somehow related to the browser not finding async-NewComponent*.js, so I realized that __init__.py has an async_resources list containing just the component created automatically by cookiecutter, and not NewComponent just created.

As I asked in the title, should this list be modified manually or is it expected that dash-generate-components should do the trick?

Thanks!
