Caveats

Caveat with refs

Some of the components need access to the DOM node. This was previously possible by using ReactDOM.findDOMNode. This function is deprecated in favor of ref and ref forwarding. However, only the following component types can be given a ref:

• Any Coral component
• class components i.e. React.Component or React.PureComponent
• DOM (or host) components e.g. div or button
• React.forwardRef components
• React.lazy components
• React.memo components
