Property ‘ref’ does not exist on type ‘intrinsicattributes

by

The error message “property ‘ref’ does not exist on type ‘IntrinsicAttributes’” occurs when you are trying to use the ref prop on an element that does not support it. The ref prop is used to get a reference to a DOM element or a component instance.

In React, not all elements or components are able to accept the ref prop. Only certain elements, such as input, button, or textarea, support the ref prop by default.

If you are trying to use the ref prop on a custom component, you need to make sure that the component supports it. You can define a ref in the component by using the React.forwardRef method.

Example:

{`import React, { forwardRef } from 'react';

// Custom component that supports ref
const MyComponent = forwardRef((props, ref) => {
  return ; 
});

// Usage of MyComponent
const App = () => {
  const ref = useRef();

  return (
    

      
    

  );
}`}

In the example above, we define a custom component called MyComponent which supports the ref prop. We wrap the component using React.forwardRef to pass the ref prop down to the underlying input element.

In the App component, we create a ref using the useRef hook and pass it to our MyComponent as a ref prop. Now, the ref is accessible from the MyComponent, allowing us to access the underlying input element if needed.
