## README

React Hot Loader patches REACT on the fly to make createElement creates an instance of a proxified REACT class, enhanced with hotloading capabilities.
As a side effect, this kind of code will allways return false :

var foo = <MyComponent />
return foo.type === MyComponent

because foo is based on a proxi of MyComponent class.
Bytheway, in production, this code will return true.

To make the comparison works in dev mode, a solution is to compare the type of the element to the type of a newly created componnent, and not the base class :
return foo.type === (<MyComponent>).type
will work

That's the purpose of this babel plugin. It replaces every expression like { foo.type === MyComponent } by { foo.type === (<MyComponent>).type }
