| // `this.emailRef.current` points to the `input` component inside of | |
| // EmailInput (instead of EmailInput itself), because EmailInput is using | |
| // React.forwardRef to 'forward' its ref onward. This makes it possible for | |
| // us to call `focus`. | |

| this.emailRef.current.focus(); | |
