Try to implement it like this. There shouldn't be the need to introduce a new prop.

function SomeComponent() {
  const inputEl = useRef(null);
  return (
    <Autocomplete
      // ...
      renderTextInput={(props) => <TextInput {...props} ref={inputEl} />}
    />
  )
}

<TextInput {...props} ref={inputEl} />

@mrlaessig thanks buddy, but still I feel this approach will be good if we use this package as a wrapper, but for someone who is directly using this package everywhere in their codebase, it'll not be ideal to refactor it everywhere. Anyway till the time there is a permanent solution or a prop is available we can go on like this.

Resolved within #243. Now you can set the ref prop in the autocomplete to get a reference to the text input.
