Description

> Warning: componentWillUpdate has been renamed, and is not recommended for use. See https://fb.me/react-async-component-lifecycle-hooks for details.
>
> * Move data fetching code or side effects to componentDidUpdate.
> * Rename componentWillUpdate to UNSAFE_componentWillUpdate to suppress this warning in non-strict mode. In React 17.x, only the UNSAFE_ name will work. To rename all deprecated lifecycles to their new names, you can run `npx react-codemod rename-unsafe-lifecycles` in your project source folder.

What's the best approach to update react-gsap-enhancer to work with the upcoming React 17, and no longer throw this warning?
