"getWrappedInstance is not a function"

Greetings,

I want to use Ref on my connect components. A search through google finds everyone suggesting to pass {withRef: true} as the 4th argument to connect() and then use ref. getWrappedInstance() to access the wrapped instance of the component.

However, when I try it I’m getting “getWrappedInstance is not a function”. I read through the docs, is getRef only available in advancedConnect() now?

I attempted to use advancedConnect but the documentation for selectorFactory is difficult to understand and I couldn’t make the change from connect to advancedConnect.

Here is my code snippet:

export default connect(mapStateToProps, mapDispatchToProps, null, { withRef: true })(Element);

and ref.getWrappedInstance() simple gives me “getWrappedInstance is not a function”.

Nevermind, I don’t know how I missed it, but it’s just been replaced by the forwardRef option seen here (which removes the need for getWrappedInstance): https://react-redux.js.org/api/connect#forwardref-boolean

getWrappedInstance is a function on the element itself. You can use it like our tests do.
