What is forwardRef in React JS? and How we can pass ref child to parent component?
Hello Dev's, In this video I spoke about the What is forwardRef in React JS? and How we can pass ref child to parent component?
In React, both ref and forwardRef are used to manage references to DOM elements or React components, enabling you to interact with them imperativel.
1. Refs (ref):
Refs provide a way to access DOM nodes or React elements created in the render method.
They are commonly used to:
Accessing the DOM nodes directly to perform imperative operations like focusing an input field or triggering an animation.
Storing a reference to a React component instance in order to call methods or access properties of that component.
2. forwardRef:
forwardRef is a higher-order component provided by React that allows components to pass refs through to their children.
It's particularly useful when you need to access the underlying DOM nodes or React components of a child component from its parent.
