React Native's Text component, but imperative instead for setting the text value

ImperativeText.js

import React, { forwardRef, useState, useImperativeHandle } from 'react';
import { Text } from 'react-native';

export default forwardRef((props, ref) => {
  const [text, setText] = useState('');
  useImperativeHandle(ref, () => ({
    setText: t => {
      if (t) setText(t);
    },
  }));
  return <Text {...props}>{text}</Text>;
});
