Forces the component to re-render when called.
- Use the `useReducer()` hook that creates a new object every time it's updated and return its dispatch.
```jsx
const useUpdate = () => {
const [, update] = React.useReducer(() => ({}));
return update;
};
```
```jsx
const MyApp = () => {
const update = useUpdate();
return (
<>
<div>Time: {Date.now()}</div>
<button onClick={update}>Update</button>
</>
);
};
ReactDOM.render(<MyApp />, document.getElementById('root'));
```
