# Questions for Van

## Date - 15/10/2020

### Questions

Q- Is our approach to the problem correct

Q- How does AST come into the picture?

Q- How do we address the issue with custom hooks (Do we pass /\use* regex for function names and set custom options in webpack to build a desirable minified file somehow)?

Q- How does the [PR](https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/19097) work? I think it's just using the `useDebugValue` as reference and doing a similar thing for `useDebugName`

STEPS (tentative):
-> Get bundle and source map (do we get to customize bundling to allow persisting custom hook variable names?)
