Do refs... actually exist?

[YCMitch]

I can see a few posts raised here about innerRef vs inputRef, but in my experience neither of those seem to exist. Is there an issue with my code, or does the component not actually expose any ref?

I've tried:
<AutosizeInput innerRef={ref => this.inputRef = ref} /> <AutosizeInput inputRef={ref => this.inputRef = ref} />

Both times, this.inputRef is undefined.

I know this is late, but I had a little struggle with this too. In the end I wrote
inputRef={node => this.input = node}.

I did have to create the ref beforehand?
this.input = React.createRef();

Perhaps this was the crux of your issue, or maybe the package changed since this issue was raised.
