Can I safely use Input.prototype.inputRef?

See original GitHub issue

Hello!

I need to get a DOM node from Input component. Not for focus only. For example I need to call input.setSelectionRange.

So. I have not found how to get DOM node in the documentation. But I have found inputRef in the code. May be it will be worth to add this property as “public” API in the documentation and TS definitions (like in this https://github.com/Semantic-Org/Semantic-UI-React/issues/1970)?

At the moment I can get input element only with findDOMNode that is not a good React practice.

<Form.Field innerRef={(div: HTMLDividerElement) => void} />
<Form.Input innerRef={(div: HTMLDividerElement) => void} />

Because, Form.Field renders div as root element.
