react/no-create-ref

Rule category

Restriction.

Prevents usage of createRef() in function components.

createRef() is a legacy API that is not recommended for use in new code. Instead, prefer using useRef() with function components.

function Component() {
  const ref = React.createRef<HTMLDivElement>();
 
  return <div ref={ref} />;
}

function Component() {
  const ref = useRef<HTMLDivElement>(null);
 
  return <div ref={ref} />;
}

class Input extends Component {
  inputRef = createRef();
  // ...
}
