 In rare cases, you might want to have access to a child's DOM node from a parent component. This is generally not recommended because it breaks component encapsulation, but it can occasionally be useful for triggering focus or measuring the size or position of a child DOM node.
 
-While you could [add a ref to to the child component](#adding-a-ref-to-a-class-component), this is not an ideal solution, as you would only get a component instance rather than a DOM node. Additionally, this wouldn't work with functional components.

 Instead, in such cases we recommend exposing a special prop on the child. The child would take a function prop with an arbitrary name (e.g. `inputRef`) and attach it to the DOM node as a `ref` attribute. This lets the parent pass its ref callback to the child's DOM node through the component in the middle.
