After calling
<MyComponent x="aaa" y="bbb" key="0" ref={someRef}/>
the props
object is
{ x: 'aaa', y: 'bbb' }
in React and Inferno, but it is
{ x: 'aaa', y: 'bbb', key: '0', ref: someRef }
in Preact.
Does anybody know the reasons for those different design decisions and maybe some advantages and disadvantages of each solution?
Disclaimer: I work on preact.
Passing both the
key
andref
prop into a component was a bug that we fixed for our upcoming major release. An alpha is scheduled to land on March 4th 2019.There is even an open RFC to pass
ref
viaprops
again. We're very supportive of that change, because that would makeforwardRef
redundant.
