It is preferred to use callback refs over findDOMNode() API. Because findDOMNode() prevents certain improvements in React in the future.

The legacy approach of using findDOMNode:

class MyComponent extends Component {

componentDidMount() {

findDOMNode(this).scrollIntoView()

}

 

render() {

return <div />

}

}

The recommended approach is:

class MyComponent extends Component {

componentDidMount() {

this.node.scrollIntoView()

}

 

render() {

return <div ref={node => this.node = node} />

}

}
