How to force remounting on React components?

by

Change the key of the component.

<Component key="1" />

<Component key="2" />

Component will be unmounted and a new instance of Component will be mounted since the key has changed.

edit: Documented on You Probably Don’t Need Derived State:

When a key changes, React will create a new component instance rather than update the current one. Keys are usually used for dynamic lists but are also useful here.
