I am trying to build a form with react. But every onBlur, onChange, and onClick is triggering twice. It happens if i try to console log inside the reducer function. The JSX is -
import React, { useReducer } from "react";
const LongForm = () => {
const initialState = {
firstName: "",
lastName: "",
email: "",
gender: "",
education: "",
quantity: 0,
feedback: "",
term: false,
};
const reducer = (state, action) => {
switch (action.type) {
case "INPUT": {
return {
...state,
[action.payload.name]: action.payload.value,
};
}
case "TOGGLE": {
return {
...state,
term: !state.term,
};
}
default:
return state;
}
};
const [state, dispatch] = useReducer(reducer, initialState);
const submit = (event) => {
event.preventDefault();
};
return (
<div>
<form
onSubmit={submit}
>
<div>
<label htmlFor="firstName">
First Name
</label>
<input
type="text"
name="firstName"
id="firstName"
// prints twice
onBlur={(e) => {
dispatch({
type: "INPUT",
payload: {
name: e.target.name,
value: e.target.value,
},
});
}}
/>
</div>
<div>
<label htmlFor="lastName">

<input

name="lastName"
id="lastName"
// prints twice
onBlur={(e) => {

},
});
}}
/>

export default LongForm;
I have looked into other problems But I am failing to understand why is it happening to my code. How can I solve this?
try to define these handlers as local functions inside your component. and check if your app wrapped with React.StrictMode
