Calling blur method on TextInput does not trigger the onBlur handler

I am calling the blur method on a TextInput component on the componentDidMount event like so:

componentDidMount() {
        this.refs.txtInput.blur();
    }

However the onBlur handler that is assigned to this textinput component is not triggered as a result. Do I have the correct expectation or this is not the case.

I have tried calling blur from other methods as well still it does not trigger the handler.

[ide]

If the text field already doesn’t have focus (which it probably doesn’t when first mounted) then blur does nothing.

No I had a workaround for validation of all fields on a page where a separate button would trigger validation and would take the user to previous page.
