After the update to MDC Web 0.39.x, the tab indicator's default sliding animation stopped working. The cause was from removing the requestAnimationFrame from MDC Web code. Since the React component's classes were originally managed by setState, which is async, this didn't give the browser enough time to apply the classes. This ultimately broke the animation.
This fix is to use the DOM's classList, which is synchronous. This requires us to use a
forceUpdate
, which is not used in our codebase. But since this animation requires synchronous class management, we need to forceUpdate after adding/removing classes.
