useRef hook

useRef hook is a hook that allows to create a reference to a DOM element or a component instance. In simpler terms, a reference is a way to access and interact with an element or component in your React code.

When you create a ref using the useRef hook, you can use that ref to access and modify the properties and methods of the referenced element or component. This can be useful in a variety of scenarios, such as when you need to focus an input field or when you need to trigger an animation or other action based on a user interaction.
