refs is missing in declaration file

See original GitHub issue

I have noticed that having both preact and react types (@types/react) will confuse the typescript compiler and throw the following error:

‘Property ‘refs’ is missing in type ‘component’.’

apparently, the property ‘refs’ is missing from the ‘preact.d.ts’ declaration file.

adding the following code after line 101 in ‘preact.d.ts’ will solve the problem:

refs: { [key: string]: Component<any> | Element; };

tried to submit a PR, but couldn’t find the file mentioned.

Thanks

@developit would you accept a fix for this? It’d be nice to hear… something from you, since this is affecting so many TypeScript users.

Here’s what you get when you ‘intermingle’ Preact-typed and React-typed components.
