React: how to avoid re-rendering a component with a hook that returns always the same value but changes its inner state

imagine to have this hook that changes his value every second and returns true if the random value is a multiple of 5 otherwise false. what can I do to stop re-rendering every second?

PS: I tried useMemo, and useRef to return back always the same object but it’s still re-rendering.

please help

const useRandomIs5x = () => {
  const [state, setState] = useState(0);
  useEffect(() => {
    const t0 = setInterval(() => {
      setState(getRandomValue())
    }, 1000)
    return () => clearInterval(to)
  }, [])
  return state % 5 === 0;
}


const Root = () => {
  const bool = useRandomIs5x();
  console.log("I'm re-rendering every second", bool)
  return <div>test</div>
}

Answer

I could fix that issue using this library react-hooks-in-callback isolating the hook from the component.
