This error happens when your component keeps updating state inside render, causing an infinite loop.
You might see this error:
Too many re-renders. React limits the number of renders to prevent an infinite loop.
Common mistake:
const [count, setCount] = useState(0);setCount(count + 1); //inside component bodyThis runs on every render → infinite loop
Fix:
Use useEffect properly:
useEffect(() => { setCount(1);}, []);Another safe pattern:
<button onClick={() => setCount(count + 1)}> Increment</button>Pro Insight:
- Never update state directly inside render
- Always use
useEffector event handlers - Watch dependencies carefully
