react/no-find-dom-node Correctness ​

✅ This rule is turned on by default.

What it does ​

This rule disallows the use of findDOMNode.

Why is this bad? ​

findDOMNode is an escape hatch used to access the underlying DOM node. In most cases, use of this escape hatch is discouraged because it pierces the component abstraction. It has been deprecated in StrictMode.

Example ​

jsx
class MyComponent extends Component {
  componentDidMount() {
    findDOMNode(this).scrollIntoView();
  }
  render() {
    return <div />;
  }
}
