[Box] Allow ref on Box #19275

Closed lcswillems closed 4 years ago

lcswillems commented 4 years ago

[x] I have searched the issues of this repository and believe that this is not a duplicate.

Summary 💡

This has already been asked here: https://github.com/mui-org/material-ui/issues/17010 but closed because issue didn't contain enough details.

I am using TypeScript and this code:

<Box ref={myRef} />

doesn't work because Material-UI doesn't allow the Box component to receive a ref.

I can't give you a repro because I don't see how I could create a Codesandbox with Material-UI + TypeScript.

Moving the discussion back to #17010, where developers might have already subscribed to.

@lcswillems Thanks for increasing the signal/noise ratio on this matter. I have also changed my reply incomplete template to point to the TypeScript version of codesandbox, JavaScript users can use the TypeScript version but the other way around is harder.

I will create a repro later today

This is a major issue that prevents use of animation libraries such as Greensock/GSAP. ALL GENERATED NODES need the ability to add a ref. Moving over to #17010.
