Short description
This PR proposes a way to pass a view reference from a top screen to an inner component, using
MainScreen
andH3
as an example.List of changes proposed in this pull request
H3
usesReact.forwardRef
to receive the ref as an input and it gives it toFactory
as the second optional function parameter;Factory
has a generic type that cannot be used in combination withReact.forwardRef
, that's whyref
is received as a second optional function parameter. It is later passed down toBaseTypography
as a standard React view's property;BaseTypography
usesReact.forwardRef
to receiveref
and to set it to its innerText
component.The downside of this approach is that, when used in the main screen, the hook must not be explicitly typed, otherwise typescript complains about it, when passed to the
H3
element. E.g.:const aRef = useRef(null); // This works
const aRef = useRef<View|null>(null); // This does not
How to test
Using the example app, check that the
ref.current
is properly initialized.
