When adding a Ref to a React component, the callback receives an object that has property inputRef:
<Textfield ref={(el: Textfield) => { this.input = el.inputRef ); }} />
So one can use it e.g. to get the value of the internal input.
However TypeScript complains like "error TS2339: Property 'inputRef' does not exist on type 'Textfield'."
Apparently the type definitions package @types/react-mdl simply misses inputRef. Actually there is no mentioning of "inputRef" in @types/react-mdl
