I am using React FilePond with the FilePondPluginImageExifOrientation and FilePondPluginImagePreview plugins to handle image uploads in my React application. I added a custom image compression logic using the CompressorJS library in the onprocessfile event. However, I am encountering a rendering loop issue, where the component keeps re-rendering in an infinite loop.
const [files, setFiles] = useState([]);
const [processingFiles, setProcessingFiles] = useState(false);
// Function to handle image compression
const compressImage = file => {
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
new Compressor(file, {
quality: 0.8,
success: compressedResult => {
resolve(compressedResult);
},
error: error => {
reject(error);
},
});
});
};
// Handle image compression and upload when files change
useEffect(() => {
const handleUpload = async () => {
try {
if (processingFiles || files.length === 0) return; // No files to compress or already processing
setProcessingFiles(true); // Set the flag to indicate we are processing files
const imageFile = files[0].file;
const compressedImage = await compressImage(imageFile);
setFiles([{ file: compressedImage }]); // Set the compressed image as the new file for FilePond
setProcessingFiles(false); // Reset the flag after processing
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error compressing image:', error);
setProcessingFiles(false); // Reset the flag on error as well
}
};
handleUpload();
}, [files, processingFiles]);
Any insights or suggestions on how to resolve this rendering loop issue and correctly compress images using React FilePond and CompressorJS would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
