# Disallow usage of findDOMNode (`react/no-find-dom-node`)

💼 This rule is enabled in the ☑️ `recommended` [config](https://github.com/jsx-eslint/eslint-plugin-react/#shareable-configs).

<!-- end auto-generated rule header -->

Facebook will eventually deprecate `findDOMNode` as it blocks certain improvements in React in the future.

It is recommended to use callback refs instead. See [Dan Abramov comments and examples](https://github.com/jsx-eslint/eslint-plugin-react/issues/678#issue-165177220).
