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);
  }
};
