[FormsyText] Can't programatically set value

[thienanle]

In my component I have

<FormsyText
    ref={(ref) => this._textInput = ref}
    value={someString} // this only works on initial render, not when someString changes
    ...
/>

I try to set its value with the below code, but nothing happens.

this._textInput.setValue('some value')

What am I doing wrong?

I have the same issue with a custom onBlur function using setValue via a ref. I can see it hit the setValue function in Mixin.js, set the state once, then call my onBlur function, get the correct value... but never show it.

That said, I just figured out that you CAN do this._textInput.state.value = 'blah', but that feels a bit dirty.

Please test with latest v0.5.4. Think this is fixed now.
