Example of a forward ref generic component in React 18
import React, { ForwardedRef, forwardRef, MouseEvent } from 'react';
type ClickableListProps<T> = {
items: T[];
onSelect: (
item: T,
event: MouseEvent<HTMLButtonElement, globalThis.MouseEvent>,
) => void;
};
function ClickableListInner<T>(
props: ClickableListProps<T>,
ref: ForwardedRef<HTMLUListElement>,
) {
return (
<ul ref={ref}>
{props.items.map((item, i) => (
<li key={i}>
<>
<button onClick={(e) => props.onSelect(item, e)}>Select</button>
{item}
</>
</li>
))}
</ul>
);
}
const ClickableList = forwardRef(ClickableListInner) as <T>(
props: ClickableListProps<T> & { ref?: ForwardedRef<HTMLUListElement> },
) => ReturnType<typeof ClickableListInner>;
export default ClickableList;

I think they just showed another approach for the ClickableListInner.
The forwardRef is exactly the same as the first snippet
