When a ref is passed to a class component, the class instance is
attached to the ref's current property automatically. This different
from function components, where you have to do something extra to attach
a ref to an instance, like passing the ref to `useImperativeHandle`.
Existing class component code is written with the assumption that a ref
will not be passed through as a prop. For example, class components that
act as indirections often spread `this.props` onto a child component. To
maintain this expectation, we should remove the ref from the props
object ("consume" it) before passing it to lifecycle methods. Without
this change, much existing code will break because the ref will attach
to the inner component instead of the outer one.
This is not an issue for function components because we used to warn if
you passed a ref to a function component. Instead, you had to use
`forwardRef`, which also implements this "consuming" behavior.
There are a few places in the reconciler where we modify the fiber's
internal props object before passing it to userspace. The trickiest one
is class components, because the props object gets exposed in many
different places, including as a property on the class instance.
This was already accounted for when we added support for setting default
props on a lazy wrapper (i.e. `React.lazy` that resolves to a class
component).
In all of these same places, we will also need to remove the ref prop
when `enableRefAsProp` is on.
Closes #28602

React · 
React is a JavaScript library for building user interfaces.
- Declarative: React makes it painless to create interactive UIs. Design simple views for each state in your application, and React will efficiently update and render just the right components when your data changes. Declarative views make your code more predictable, simpler to understand, and easier to debug.
- Component-Based: Build encapsulated components that manage their own state, then compose them to make complex UIs. Since component logic is written in JavaScript instead of templates, you can easily pass rich data through your app and keep the state out of the DOM.
- Learn Once, Write Anywhere: We don't make assumptions about the rest of your technology stack, so you can develop new features in React without rewriting existing code. React can also render on the server using Node and power mobile apps using React Native.

Installation
React has been designed for gradual adoption from the start, and you can use as little or as much React as you need:
- Use Quick Start to get a taste of React.
- Add React to an Existing Project to use as little or as much React as you need.
- Create a New React App if you're looking for a powerful JavaScript toolchain.
Documentation
You can find the React documentation on the website.
Check out the Getting Started page for a quick overview.
The documentation is divided into several sections:
- Quick Start
- Tutorial
- Thinking in React
- Installation
- Describing the UI
- Adding Interactivity
- Managing State
- Advanced Guides
- API Reference
- Where to Get Support
- Contributing Guide

Examples
We have several examples on the website. Here is the first one to get you started:
import { createRoot } from 'react-dom/client';
function HelloMessage({ name }) {
return <div>Hello {name}</div>;
}
const root = createRoot(document.getElementById('container'));
root.render(<HelloMessage name="Taylor" />);
This example will render "Hello Taylor" into a container on the page.
You'll notice that we used an HTML-like syntax; we call it JSX. JSX is not required to use React, but it makes code more readable, and writing it feels like writing HTML.
