What it does

Disallows using deprecated string refs.

String refs are deprecated in React. Use callback refs instead.

Examples

Failing

import React from "react";
 
function MyComponent() {
  return <div ref="ref" />;
  //              ^^^^^
  //              - [Deprecated] Use callback refs instead.
}

Passing

import React, { useRef } from "react";
 
function MyComponent() {
  const ref = useRef<HTMLDivElement>(null);
  return <div ref={ref} />;
}
