Form Submission Race Condition - Multiple Submissions or Lost Data

Clicking submit button multiple times creates duplicate records. Data submitted in wrong order due to async operations completing out of sequence. UI doesn't disable button during submission, causing race conditions.

Async form submissions need proper loading state to prevent duplicate submissions. Promises can resolve in any order, creating data inconsistencies.

Common Causes

  1. Submit button not disabled during submission
  2. No loading state preventing multiple clicks
  3. Promise.all used incorrectly for sequential operations
  4. Async operations completing out of expected order
  5. Form not cleared after successful submission

How to Fix It

Disable button and add loading state:

const [isLoading, setIsLoading] = useState(false);

const handleSubmit = async (e) => {
  e.preventDefault();
  if (isLoading) return; // Prevent duplicate clicks
  
  setIsLoading(true);
  try {
    await submitForm();
    setEmail('');
  } finally {
    setIsLoading(false);
  }
};

My main experience is with **React, TypeScript, and modern frontend architectures**, where I prioritize clean code, component reusability, and maintainable project structures. I have strong experience working with **dynamic forms, state management (Redux / React Hook Form), and complex data-driven interfaces**. I enjoy solving real-world problems by turning ideas into reliable software that companies can actually use in their daily operations. Beyond coding, I care about **software quality and architecture**, following best practices for componentization, code organization, and performance optimization. I'm also comfortable working across the stack when needed, integrating APIs, handling business logic, and helping transform prototypes into production-ready systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I prevent duplicate submissions?

Disable submit button during submission. Add loading state and check before submitting.

Should I disable button after submit?

Yes, until submit completes. Re-enable in finally block to handle both success and error cases.
