Wtf does this do

I appreciate you sharing this, but the README for this repository is empty, there's no description, no code examples, and no explanation of what the project does or who it's for. From the repo name "testcomp" and the fact that it's written in JavaScript, I can make an educated guess that it has something to do with testing components (likely React components, given the author's background), but I can't write an honest explanation without actual information about what the project is meant to do. If you're looking to understand this repo, I'd recommend checking the actual code files, any examples in the repository, or reaching out to the author directly. Alternatively, if you have access to any documentation or know what the project is supposed to do, I'd be happy to explain it in plain language.
