Why is my function being called twice in React?

I have an idea that this may be because I am doing some styling things to change my radio button, but I am not sure. I am setting an onClick event that is calling my function twice. I have removed it to make sure it wasn't being triggered somewhere else and the onClick seems to be the culprit. 

<div
  className="CheckboxContainer"
  onClick={() =>
    this.changeShipping({ [k]: i })
  }
>
  <label>
    <div className="ShippingName">
      {shipOption.carrier
        ? shipOption.carrier.serviceType
        : null}{' '}
      {shipOption.name}
    </div>
    <div className="ShippingPrice">
      ${shipOption.amount}
    </div>
    <input
      type="radio"
      value={i}
      className="ShippingInput"
      onChange={() =>
        this.setState({
          shippingOption: {
            ...this.state.shippingOption,
            [k]: i
          }
        })
      }
      checked={
        this.state.shippingOption[k] === i
          ? true
          : false
      }
    />
    <span className="Checkbox" />
  </label>
</div>

my function is just for now a simple console log of the shipping option:

changeShipping(shipOption){
 console.log('clicked') // happening twice 
}

If there isn't any reason you see here why this would happen I can post the rest of the code, but there is a lot and I don't think it would pertain to this, but I think this is a good starting place.

Full code:

import React, { Component } from 'react'
import fetch from 'isomorphic-fetch'
import { Subscribe } from 'statable'
import { FoldingCube } from 'better-react-spinkit'

import styles from './styles'
import { cost, cartState, userInfo, itemState, Api } from '../../state'
import { removeCookies, resetCart } from '../../../injectState'

export default class ShippingOptions extends Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props)
    this.state = {
      shippingOption: {}
    }

    this.changeShipping = this.changeShipping.bind(this)
  }

  async changeShipping(shipOption) {
    const shipKey = Object.keys(shipOption)[0]
    // if (userInfo.state.preOrderInfo.setShip[shipKey] === shipOption[shipKey]) {
    //   return
    // }
    let updatedShipOption = {}
    Object.keys(shipOption).forEach(k => {
      updatedShipOption = userInfo.state.preOrderInfo.setShip
        ? { ...userInfo.state.preOrderInfo.setShip, [k]: shipOption[k] }
        : shipOption
    })

    userInfo.setState({
      preOrderInfo: {
        ...userInfo.state.preOrderInfo,
        setShip: updatedShipOption
      }
    })

    // Make request to change shipping option
    const { preOrderInfo } = userInfo.state

    const shippingRes = await fetch(Api.state.api, {
      body: JSON.stringify(preOrderInfo),
      method: 'POST'
    })
      .then(res => res.json())
      .catch(err => {
        let error = ''
        if (
          err.request &&
          (err.request.status === 404 || err.request.status === 502)
        ) {
          error = `Error with API: ${err.response.statusText}`
        } else if (err.request && err.request.status === 0 && !err.response) {
          error =
            'Something went wrong with the request, no response was given.'
        } else {
          error = err.response || JSON.stringify(err) || err
        }
        cartState.setState({
          apiErrors: [error],
          loading: false
        })
      })
    console.log(shippingRes)
  }

  async componentDidMount() {
    if (cartState.state.tab === 2) {
      const { shipping } = userInfo.state
      const { items, coupon } = itemState.state
      let updated = { ...shipping }
      const names = updated.shippingFullName.split(' ')
      updated.shippingFirst = names[0]
      updated.shippingLast = names[1]

      updated.products = items

      })

          } else if (err.request && err.request.status === 0 && !err.response) {
            error =

          } else {

For me it was also the React.strictmode but since I was using Next.JS i had to change it in the Next Config

Next.config.js

/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
reactStrictMode: false,
}

module.exports = nextConfig

  //<React.StrictMode>
    <App />
  //</React.StrictMode>

Commenting </React.StrictMode> works for me.

In my case, it needs both to avoid redundant calls

<React.StrictMode>
  <App />
</React.StrictMode>

from Nisharg Shah

e.preventDefault();

from Amruth

and one more thing for functional component where useEffect() method is called twice for me is bcoz, there were only one useEffect used with holds all methods to bind in FC (functional component) and dependency list. so after the change it looks like as follows:

useEffect(() => {
    console.log("AFTER CHANGE : ", data) // move to below method
    handleSubmit.bind(this);
    handleCancel.bind(this);
    testChange.bind(this);
}, [
    data // move to below method
]);

useEffect(() => {
    console.log("AFTER CHANGE : ", data)
}, [data]);
  1. we should have without dependency list for bindings
  2. To view the changed data after onChange(), then we should have useEffect with dependencyList of the data we are looking for.

Hope this helps. Happy coding . . . .

e.stopPropagation() is also worth exploring. I was handling an onMouseDown event, and preventDefault was not preventing multiple calls.

Prevent calling twice by using e.preventDefault().

changeShipping(e){
   e.preventDefault();
   console.log('clicked');
}

Its because your app component is a wrap in StrictMode.

<React.StrictMode>
  <App />
</React.StrictMode>,

If you are using create-react-app then it is found in index.js

It is expected that setState updaters will run twice in strict mode in development. This helps ensure the code doesn't rely on them running a single time (which wouldn't be the case if an async render was aborted and later restarted). If your setState updaters are pure functions (as they should be) then this shouldn't affect the logic of your application.

The problem is html related, rather than React related. By default clicking a label will also trigger the onClick event of the input element it is associated with. In your case the onClick event is attached to both the label and the input. So by clicking on the label, the event is fired twice: once for the label and once for the input associated with it.

Edit: Attaching the onClick listener to the input is a possible solution to the problem
