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

None of the above solutions quite worked for me (and I think this might be a simpler solution). This is how I managed to get it to work in typescript (example using refs to focus the FormControl):

Make sure you've imported ReactDom:

import * as ReactDOM from 'react-dom';

In your component:

public focus():void {
    let input = ReactDOM.findDOMNode(this.refs["titleInput"]) as HTMLInputElement;
    input.focus();
}

render() {
    return (
        
            
        
    );
}
