Cannot ref with Typescript

[lukepighetti]

I seem to be unable to ref Styled Components with Typescript. I have asked another user about this and they believe this is a bug so I have decided to file an issue.

private _ref = React.createRef<HTMLDivElement>();

<SliderContainer
  ref={this._ref}
/>

const SliderContainer = styled.div`
  /* whatever */
`

Action: make a styled.div and ref it with React.createRef<HTMLDivElement>()
Expected behavior: it works
Actual behavior: type error

Same here. Meanwhile using ref={_ref as any} 🤔

This repo do lo longer keeps typings for styled-components, so I guess the issue will be closed soon. @lukepighetti could you please recreate it in https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped if this has not been done yet?

Posted and ref'd the ref issue with a GitHub ref. 😄
