Proxy component: can't pass 'ref'

[ghengeveld]

It should be noted that it's not allowed to pass ref down through a proxy component. You could circumvent this by using a custom 'xref' prop that is manually bound to the underlying component's ref.

I'm using the proxy component pattern extensively in react-isomorphic-form.

this is noted in the second sentence. They don’t hold state or refs; they’re just functions.

how would you prefer it be noted?

I'm going to leave this off for now.

The goal of this resource is "just the facts" and this concept is pretty advanced. Maybe a better fit for a more advanced target audience.

Thanks raising the issue!
