import createRef from 'react-create-ref'

class Example extends React.Component {
  constructor() {
    this.input = createRef()
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <form>
        <input type="text" ref={this.input} />
        <button type="button" onClick={() => this.input.current.focus()} />
      </form>
    )
  }
}
