@fluentui/react-component-ref

What is @fluentui/react-component-ref?

@fluentui/react-component-ref is a utility package from Fluent UI that provides a way to handle React refs in a more flexible and controlled manner. It is particularly useful for managing refs in complex component hierarchies and for forwarding refs to DOM elements or other components.

What are @fluentui/react-component-ref's main functionalities?

Forwarding Refs

This feature allows you to forward refs to DOM elements or other components. In this example, the `Ref` component is used to forward the `inputRef` to the `input` element.

import { Ref } from '@fluentui/react-component-ref';
import React, { useRef } from 'react';

const MyComponent = () => {
  const inputRef = useRef(null);

  return (
    <Ref innerRef={inputRef}>
      <input type="text" />
    </Ref>
  );
};

Handling Complex Component Hierarchies

This feature is useful for managing refs in complex component hierarchies. In this example, `Ref` is used to forward the `divRef` to the `InnerComponent`, which in turn forwards it to the `div` element.

import { Ref } from '@fluentui/react-component-ref';
import React, { useRef } from 'react';

const InnerComponent = React.forwardRef((props, ref) => (
  <div ref={ref} {...props} />
));

const OuterComponent = () => {
  const divRef = useRef(null);

  return (
    <Ref innerRef={divRef}>
      <InnerComponent />
    </Ref>
  );
};
