createSignal for react

createSignal.tsx

import React from 'react';

/** createSignal for react */
export function createSignal<S>(
  initialState: S
): [() => S, (nextState: S) => void] {
  const forceRender = useForceRender();
  const stateRef = React.useRef<S>(initialState);
  const stateRefGetter = (): S => stateRef.current;

  const stateSetter = React.useCallback((nextState: S) => {
    stateRef.current = nextState;
    forceRender(); // need to rerender the react component
  }, []);

  return [stateRefGetter, stateSetter];
}

function useForceRender() {
  const [_, set] = React.useState({});
  // every runs gives a different object to renrender component (pointer)
  return () => set({});
}

// demo
export default function App() {
  const [count, setCount] = createSignal(0);
  React.useEffect(() => {
    const timer = setInterval(() => {
      setCount(count() + 1);
    }, 500);
    console.log(`created`, count()); // always get the latest value of counter state, but not the prev closured one
    return () => {
      console.log("clear interval ?", count()); // would never run clear interval when setCount
      clearInterval(timer);
    };
  }, []);

  return <div>count: {count()}</div>;
}

console.log(created, count()); // always get the latest value of counter state, but not the prev closured one

Should this line be written to the timer?

this line of code executes once was mounted, while the first time of setInterval callback will runs after 500ms.
