BK Javascripters August Meetup: useRef Part 2

useRef Part 2

Last time we covered useRef and React.createRef, as well as how you can't pass a ref as a prop value. If you missed it, please review my blog post here:

Tonight we will (try to) cover:

• REFS TO MANAGE FOCUS
• REFS TO MANAGE TEXT SELECTION
• REFS TO MANAGE VIDEO PLAYBACK
• REFS TO REACH OUTSIDE OF STATE & PROPS AND INTERACT WITH 3RD PARTY LIBRARIES

I am working on a few demo apps that demonstrate each of these, but If you have examples of these to share, that would be most welcome.

Please note that we will be in spatial.chat. However, to get the password you must first come into the Zoom room, introduce yourself, and confirm your Meetup member name before we will give you the spatial chat password. Unfortunately, this is the only way I can figure out how to keep the party crashers out.

SHAMELESS SELF PROMO:
My fledgling social media channels have very few followers. If you would 'like' or 'follow' me on these socials you would have my undying gratitude. More content coming soon, of course.
