Research direction

Start by pasting the provided TypeScript generic class component into the react-docgen playground and compare the parser output with the expected Props interface. Investigate the parsing entry point for class component props and confirm the work is done when the documented name prop is extracted.

Description

flow new feature

Consider the example component below which is very common.
I cannot parse the props.
am i doing something incorrect here?
please copy paste in the playgrounds and try it for yourselves. https://reactcommunity.org/react-docgen/

import React, { Component } from 'react';

interface Props {
 /**
  * name of person
  */
  name: string;
}

class MyComponent<T extends Props> extends Component<T> {
  render() {
    <p>hello</p>
  }
}


export default MyComponent;

I expect to get the props parsed for this component from the interface 'Props' But no props are parsed.
