Making the same post request 3 times

[lean scroll]

Hi, i have a quiz app. At the end of the quiz, I show the user's results and update the completion number property in the mongoDB backend.

I am noticing that the component is making the PATCH request 3 times, therefore tripling the completion number. How can i prevent this behaviour?

Thank you!

Call the function in useEffect

instead of calling like this

Thank you so much! it worked. But its giving me an error that asks me to prevent client components from being async.

should i just ignore it?

[marsh wren]

client components can't be async

and you don't need async there cause your updateData is an async func
