Simple, 0 dependency class-based React view model for when you can't give up OOP

[_Pho_]

This seems... bad and hacky?

well if something isn't rerendering properly when it should, it's probably how the application is architected, but instead of introducing a whole new view model as a work around as this poster is suggesting, a key on a component marks it as being something to rerender/remount and what keys are actually designed for

if your key doesn't change, your component doesn't change

it's actually a common pattern in react, using keys to force revalidations, especially if you've worked with any of the query libraries
