I have a timeline component when you click on a month that shifts focus to reports of that month
I have used refs to try and achieve this. I update the state on click of an element on the timeline so I use the focus function in componentDidUpdate method
data.map(factsheet =>
const heading = factsheet && toShortFormat(factsheet.month).slice(3);
return (
<Cell extraClasses="factsheets-container">
<p className="month-name" ref=heading>heading</p>
<Cell extraClasses="factsheets">
this.factsheetsList(factsheet.factsheets)
</Cell>
</Cell>
)
);
This snippet is for refs in onclick function
const ref = `$month-$year`;
this.setState(
ref: this.refs[ref],
)
This is the componentDidUpdate function
componentDidUpdate ()
const ref = this.state
ref && ReactDOM.findDOMNode(ref).focus();
The focus doesn't shift

I'm not sure how you are using the ref because we can't see your whole Component, but, from what I see, there is something wrong (for example, you should have one refObject for each Cell, and you should not save the refs in the state).
I can't even see where the onClick function is fired :)
Anyways, here's a fiddle that may help you:
const data = [
title: "Foo",
title: "Bar",
title: "Miz"
];
class App extends React.Component
inputListRef;
constructor(props)
super(props);
this.inputListRef = Array.from( length: props.data.length, () => React.createRef());
handleClick = (e) =>
const dataIndex = e.target.getAttribute("data-index");
this.inputListRef[dataIndex].current.focus()
console.log();
render()
return (
<React.Fragment>
<h1>Your Data</h1>
this.props.data.map((el, index) =>
return (
<div className="data-cell">
<button data-index=index onClick=this.handleClick>Click me for Focus</button>
<input type="text" ref=this.inputListRef[index] value=el.title></input>
</div>
);
)
</React.Fragment>
);
ReactDOM.render(<App data=data/>, document.getElementById('root'));@import url(https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Montserrat);
body
font-family: 'Montserrat', sans-serif;
.data-cell
border: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.5);

<div id='root'></div>I've used the input element so you can see the focus easily. As you can see, I create an array of refs, and I save each input element in one different entry of the array.
Notice I've used the data-index custom attribute: you could also write onClick=() => this.handleClick(index) and change the handleClick() to expect a number parameter; I wrote like I wrote because I wanted to avoid arrow function in render() method.
