Can you explain what refs are in React?
Refs in React are a way to access DOM nodes or React elements directly. They provide a way to interact with the rendered elements.
How do I create a ref in a functional component?
You can create a ref using the useRef
hook. For example: const myRef = useRef(null);
.
When should I use refs instead of state?
Use refs when you need to access a DOM element directly or when you want to store a mutable value that doesn't trigger re-renders.
Can you give me an example of using refs?
Sure! Here's a simple example: <input ref={myRef} />. You can then access the input's value using myRef.current.value
.
