How to use $refs with Composition API and Typescript?

[sysRQ]

I have a QInput with ref=“email”, but with Composition API context.root.$refs it’s empty. I can access some properties declaring const email = ref(), and i can access values throug email.value.whatever, but can’t call functions like email.value.validate().

How can do that?

Thanks.
