onClick fires multiple time in React.js

Question

I have following component.

import React from 'react'
import Profile from './Profile'

import Messages from './Messages'
class ContactContent extends React.Component {
  constructor () {
    super()
    this.state = {
      message: ''
    }
    this.handleOnClick = (e) => {
      e.preventDefault()
      console.log('send message called')
    //   this.props.onSendMessage(this.state.message)
    }
  }

  render () {
    const { id, name, profile, messages } = this.props.user
    return (
      <div className='content'>
        <Profile
          name={id}
          profile={profile}
        />
        <Messages
          messages={messages}
        />
        <div className='message-input'>
          <div className='wrap'>
            <input type='text' placeholder='Write your message...' onChange={(e) => this.setState({ message: e.target.value })} />
            {/* <i className="fa fa-paperclip attachment" aria-hidden="true"></i> */}
            <button className='' onClick={this.handleOnClick}><i className='fa fa-paper-plane' aria-hidden='true' /></button>
          </div>
        </div>
      </div>
    )
  }
}

export default ContactContent

when I click on button onclick is called which triggers handleonclick function. but handleonclick is being called like infinit time. this is a weird behavior I have seen this first time any idea what I have done wrong?

Answer 1

Fixed it there was an external javascript file which was creating this issue. Nothing is wrong with the code.

Answer 2

No, you are calling the handleOnClick each time on page load/render load here So without making this, or to avoid multiple call try to use:

fat arrow call of that function on onClick event.

<button className='' onClick={(e) => this.handleOnClick(e)}><i className='fa fa-paper-plane' aria-hidden='true' /></button>
