get element property react from other components code example

Example 1: react focus

const FocusDemo = () => {

    const [inputRef, setInputFocus] = useFocus()

    return (
        <> 
            <button onClick={setInputFocus} >
               FOCUS
            </button>
            <input ref={inputRef} />
        </>
    )

}

const useFocus = () => {
    const htmlElRef = useRef(null)
    const setFocus = () => {htmlElRef.current &&  htmlElRef.current.focus()}

    return [ htmlElRef, setFocus ] 
}

Example 2: pass props in react

/* PASSING THE PROPS to the 'Greeting' component */
const expression = 'Happy';
<Greeting statement='Hello' expression={expression}/> // statement and expression are the props (ie. arguments) we are passing to Greeting component

/* USING THE PROPS in the child component */
class Greeting extends Component {
  render() {
    return <h1>{this.props.statement} I am feeling {this.props.expression} today!</h1>;
  }
}
