VueForceNextTick

When you need to ensure the DOM has been updated Vue's nextTick just doesn't work. You will need to use the double requestAnimationFrame method. This is an elegant wrapper to allow you to use the double requestAnimationFrame method within your Vue applications either globally Vue.$forceNextTick(callback) or within a method this.$forceNextTick(callback)

A bit of History

How does double requestanimationframe work

VueJS: How to wait for a browser re-render? Vue.nextTick doesn't seem to cover it.

Inspired by the advice of [Justineo] (https://github.com/Justineo)

Usage

Vue.$forceNextTick(() => {
  // Your code here.
})

    this.$forceNextTick(() => {
      // Your code here.
