-**Forwarding Refs**: As [the React docs themselves note](https://reactjs.org/docs/forwarding-refs.html), most usecases will not need to obtain a ref to the inner element. But for people making reusable component libraries, you will need to `forwardRef` the underlying element, and then you can use `ComponentPropsWithRef` to grab props for your wrapper component. Check [our docs on forwarding Refs](https://react-typescript-cheatsheet.netlify.app/docs/basic/getting-started/forward_and_create_ref/) for more.

-In future, the need to `forwardRef` may go away in React 17+, but for now we still have to deal with this. 🙃

When building reusable component libraries, however, `forwardRef` is often needed for exposing the underlying DOM node of an inner component to a parent component.
