Using React.findDOMNode in TypeScript

Question

I\'m following the React Tutorial and got stuck on how to use React.findDOMNode.

Here is my code:

export class CommentForm extends React.Com         


        

Answer 1

References in React doesn't work like this. To get the DOM element of reference, you need to ask it in that way :

let authorElement = this.refs.author.getDOMNode();
