What it does

Enforces that forwardRef is only used when a ref parameter is declared.

This rule enforces that:

Components using forwardRef must declare a ref parameter
Components not using ref should not be wrapped with forwardRef

Examples

Failing

import React from "react";
 
const MyComponent = React.forwardRef((props) => {
  //                                  ^^^^^
  //                                   - 'forwardRef' wrapper is useless without 'ref' parameter.
  return <button />;
});

Passing

import React from "react";
 
const MyComponent = React.forwardRef<HTMLButtonElement>((props, ref) => {
  return <button ref={ref} />;
});
