keycloak object properties such as keycloak.authenticated are not reactive

When I use e.g. keycloak.authenticated (keycloak gotten from the hook), things will not rerender even if authenticated gets a new value. (as far as I can tell?)

I was thinking I could maybe solve this in my project by maybe sort of creating a useState alternative for authenticated, that somehow refreshes itself whenever the provider’s onEvent callback runs. But I think this should probably be something that’s built into react-keycloak since it will be a common problem/usecase.

I’m glad I found this thread, I thought for sure that the hook would cause a re-render. React docs advise not to prevent re-renders especially when it comes to hooks since one of the strengths of React is that multiple re-renders can still produce a single update to the DOM.

Instead of changing the behaviour of a hook, an alternate hook could be provided with a different name.

PS. probably a good idea to mention in the readme that if people just want auth then they could probably use any OIDC compatible client
