Why are String Refs legacy?

  • They are no longer needed with the introduction of functional components
  • They are not supported in modern browsers
  • They are slow and inefficient
  • They can cause naming conflicts and bugs
String refs, which allow developers to set refs using a string identifier, are considered legacy because they can cause naming conflicts and bugs. They have been replaced with callback refs and the React.createRef() API.
