Description

I have a React component where I use a Rive animation with useRive hook.
In the beggining i set the artboard parameter conditionally based on an external prop like so:

const { RiveComponent, rive } = useRive({ src: "/animations/hamburger_menu.riv", stateMachines: "stateMachine", autoplay: true, artboard: theme === NavbarComponentTheme.Orange ? "White" : "Grey", });

The problem is that when the prop changes the artboard doesn't change.

How should I manage this problem?

Research direction

Start at the useRive hook and reproduce the issue with the external theme prop changing after initialization. Trace how the hook handles the artboard option; done means the rendered Rive animation switches between the White and Grey artboards when that prop changes.
