Repeatedly calling setState inside componentWillUpdate or componentDidUpdate?





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}

I'm trying to figure out the orientation of background-images in a React component that are passed in as props.



I start off by creating an Image object and setting its src to the new Image:



  getImage() {
const src = this.props.url;
const image = new Image();
image.src = src;

this.setState({
height: image.height,
width: image.width
});
}


After I've updated the state with the heights and widths, I try calling getOrientation() inside of componentDidUpdate():



  getOrientation() {
const { height, width } = this.state;
if (height > width) {
this.setState({ orientation: "portrait" });
} else {
this.setState({ orientation: "landscape" });
}
}


I then get the following error:



Maximum update depth exceeded. This can happen when a component repeatedly calls setState inside componentWillUpdate or componentDidUpdate.


Any ideas what's going on here?

You need to include prevProps like so:



componentDidUpdate(prevProps, prevState) {
...
}

    No, your sandbox has: componentDidUpdate(prevState). Notice there's only one parameter instead of two :)
