Cannot get prop-types of imported types

[aarohmankad]

Current behavior

I have an array of possible values for a prop. I use PropTypes.oneOf(colors), but the generated docs show the string literal "colors" instead of enumerating the colors array.

To reproduce

Modify Label component from here to import possible colors from a file colors.js

// colors.js
export default ['blue', 'red'];

// Label/index.js
import colors from './colors.js';

Label.propTypes = {
  color: PropTypes.oneOf(colors),
};

Expected behavior

Replace the color propType in the Label component to a hard-coded array:

// Label/index.js
Label.propTypes = {
  color: PropTypes.oneOf(['blue', 'red']),
};

After more research, this turns out to be an issue with the react-docgen library. You can follow along with the Pull Request here: reactjs/react-docgen#352
