Typescript issues when creating ref fro react native TextInput

I came across an issue when defining refs i.e.
inputRef = React.createRef(null)
//...
const someFunction () => {
if (this.inputRef && this.inputRef.current) {
this.inputRef.current.focus()
}
}
//...
<TextInput ref={inputRef} />
Where I access .focus() I get following error
[ts] Property 'focus' does not exist on type 'never'. [2339]
Can I somehow tell createRef that this ref can be null or TextInput so it knows that .focus() can exist on it?
reactjs typescript react-native react-ref

You can try the following:
inputRef = React.createRef<TextInput>();
