Hi, i updated my project recently to kotlin 1.5 but I am now having issues with the react-dom library. I can't set the ref attribute for my react components, since it no longer allows passing lambdas to attrs.ref.

var myRef : Element? = null

styledDiv {
  attrs.ref {
    myRef = it as? Element
  }
}

So the above code no longer works. Is there a workaround for this?

[turansky]

var myRef : Element? = null

styledDiv {
  attrs.ref = RefCallback<Element> {
    myRef = it
  }
}

Via useRefState

val (element, elementRef) = useRefState()

styledDiv {
  attrs.ref = elementRef
}
