focus, _root, getRef - missing from typings

react-native, react and native-base version

• RN 0.55.2
• R 16.3.2
• NB 2.4.2

Expected behaviour

Typings present

Actual behaviour

Typings not present

Steps to reproduce (code snippet or screenshot)

<Input getRef={(input) =>this.passwordInput = input}} />

Type ‘{ getRef: (input: any) => any; }’ has no properties in common with type ‘IntrinsicAttributes & IntrinsicClassAttributes & Readonly<{ children?: ReactNode; }> & Rea…’.

function focusPassword(input: Input) {
    input._root.focus();
}

Property ‘_root’ does not exist on type ‘Input’.

As a result of above focus() is also missing I think but I’m not sure. I see it defined in NativeMethodsMixinStatic but doesn’t seem as if that’s being referenced anywhere

Is the bug present in both ios and android or in any one of them?

Yes

Any other additional info which would help us debug the issue quicker.

Can be temporarily fixed by adding below typings file to project (focus only actually exists on the value of _root but I don’t know what its meant to be, so I set it to Input)

declare module "native-base" {
    // getRef, _root, focus all missing
    namespace NativeBase {
        interface Input {
            focus?: () => void;
            _root?: Input;
            getRef?: (ref: Input) => void;
        }
    }
}

Yes, _root is still missing

@akhil-geekyants would just like to point out that this still isn’t fixed, _root remains missing from the types.
