Description

Hi, Seems I found small issue. I can't use

<Flexbox ref={(instance) => { debugger; this.flexboxInstance= instance; }} />

When call this set null to flexboxInstance. And probably this component required to implement getPublicInstance() method properly.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine how the Flexbox component handles refs. Check if it uses forwardRef or getPublicInstance. The issue is that the ref callback receives null instead of the instance, likely because the component does not properly pass the ref to the underlying DOM element or does not implement getPublicInstance if it's a class component.
