React Force Rerender

The main purpose of this library is to provide access to a hook that returns a function that forces a rerender upon being called. It uses setTimeout as a method to bypass the "Cannot update a component while rendering a different component" error (seems to be the easiest solution found at stackoverflow).

The hook is exported as default, so you can import in one of the following ways:

// ES6
import useForceRerender from '@ptolemy2002/react-force-rerender';
// CommonJS
const useForceRerender = require('@ptolemy2002/react-force-rerender');

Meta
