focus()

The focus() method sets focus on an element after the next UI render.

Pass in a selector for the element you want to set focus on as an argument. It will set focus on the target element, if one exists, after the next reef:render event is emitted.

let {focus} = reef;
focus('h1');

If you’re using the render() method to render the UI, you need to run the focus() method first. If you’re using the component() method, you can run it before or after.

// You have to run focus() before the render() function
focus('h1');
render('#app', template());

// With component(), it can go before or after
component('#app', template);
focus('h1');
