@max23_ ‘s answer might work for now, but is not the correct way of doing it – as a rule of thumb, we should never access private variables directly as these are often subject to change. (edit: no disrespect 🙂 )
Due to this pull request, the new and future-proof way of getting the wrapped component’s ref is to use the getNode() utility method, as accessing private variables (prepended with _) is not safe from future API changes.
So, the new way of doing it is
ref={c => (this.myRef = c)}
and then when calling the method, doing
this.myRef.getNode().scrollTo({
y: 0,
animated: true,
});
🙂
