Steps to reproduce

just click the number text,the consolog is error

What is expected?

in dev mode

the cRef should be a object

in pro mode

can call exMethod method successful

What is actually happening?

in dev mode

the cRef is a array . I have to check if it is array,and pick the first element to be the true ref refrence.in this way the dev mode can call method named exMethod successful

in pro mode

console.log show that Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'exMethod')

Any additional comments?

No response

The use of the way you don't

Ref support array api but do not support the api of objects

you can see the document -> api document

I implemented a demo , you can see the demo

extension

Consider support object api for template-refs ？

@cuixiaorui

it must be

const getComponentByName = (name)=> itemRefs.value.find((c)=> c.name === name)

@cuixiaorui

1. the demo won 't warn in the prod mode,but the method exposeMethd not be called because the componet is undefined
2. the reason componet is undefined because itemRefs don' t provide the unique key to help us find the current component
