✨ Follow Ref on ForwardRef component in reactRenderer

[castroCrea]

• Allow us to pass Ref to a function ForwardRef component in reactRenderer (useful for mention)

Hey @castroCrea, can you please explain to me what this is helpful for?

[castroCrea]

It is helpful if we use functional component React.forwardRef instead of class component.

For example, in Mention, you pass onKepPress to the ref but it only works for Class component. Will be nice for this to work with functional component also.

Ah great! So this would be a fix for #1040?

Since I don’t really have experience with forwardRef: What would a functional component have to look like to be able to call onKeyDown from outside there as well?

[castroCrea]

Yes exactly

[philippkuehn]

Perfect! Thanks!

The mentions demo is now using a functional component 🎉
