Cannot get ref of actual input field

[swrobel]

Version

3.1.5

Steps to reproduce

<Typeahead
   inputRef={i => (this.input = i)}
/>

Expected Behavior

this.input is the dom <input> element.

Actual Behavior

this.input is undefined

The behavior you're describing is expected, since inputRef is not part of the API. Is this a feature request?

[swrobel]

In that case, I guess it is.

You can call getInput on the typeahead instance if you need the input node:

// In `render`:
<Typeahead
  ...
  ref={typeahead => this.typeahead = typeahead}
/>

// In some handler:
this.typeahead.getInstance().getInput();
