// Sometimes we need some state from an element or a component
// or it has to be directly modified somehow. For
// this case, we can tell React to create references.
// These are named properties of a class component
// stored in this.refs after the component got rendered.
var RefComponent = React.createClass({
// First we tell React to render an input with a
// ref attribute the resulting DOM element will
// be stored into this.refs.nameInput
// We also add a callback to a button
render: function() {
return <div>
<input ref='nameInput'/>
<button onClick={this.handleClick}>Do Something</button>
</div>
},
// The callback is called when th button is clicked
// and uses this.refs.nameInput to read out the value
// of the input.
// For elements the rendered DOM node will be stored
// For components the instance of the component will
// be stored.
handleClick: function() {
console.log(this.refs.nameInput.value)
},
})
// Since references are local to their component
// they can be used as local IDs to get elements
// and don't override each other when another
// instance of the component is created
