I agree - I've confirmed in my project it doesn't work properly, because if the ref changes it won't trigger useEffect to refresh. You're supposed to use useCallback to make a callback ref like the React docs recommend.

Currently trying to figure out how I can use that approach with this library, though the TypeScript typings assert that it needs a RefObject as the parameter, which this callback approach does not produce - I'm thinking I need to make a fake RefObject that actually is just the DOM element I retrieve and store in state from the useCallback() ref, so that the library can use it
