With v3, it seems forceUpdate has been mostly removed from the documentation.
I did find it on https://stenciljs.com/docs/api#other but the documentation is sparce.
I'm not sure the best update to the documentation, but two points should be made.
- In order to use forceUpdate in a component, you need to import it from @stencil/core.
- In order to call forceUpdate on a component, you need to pass it a reference to a node or element.
For a class component, I used something like the following.
import { Component, forceUpdate } from '@stencil/core'
// inside a class component function
forceUpdate(this);
I know that forceUpdate isn't the best solution for production, but it is useful in development and testing.
