Question

I am new in react native I am trying to render the count of unread notification for that I called my API in HOC it is working fine for initial few seconds but after that, I started to get the below error
func.apply is not a function
below is my code
import React, { Component } from "react";
import PropTypes from "prop-types";
import { Modal, View } from "react-native";
import { themes } from "./constants";
import { AsyncStorage } from "react-native";
export default (OriginalComponent, animationType) =>
class extends Component {
static propTypes = {
handleFail: PropTypes.func,
theme: PropTypes.string,
visible: PropTypes.bool
};
state = {
modalVisible: true
};
static getDerivedStateFromProps({ visible }) {
if (typeof visible === "undefined") {
setInterval(
AsyncStorage.getItem("loginJWT").then(result => {
if (result !== null) {
result = JSON.parse(result);
fetch(serverUrl + "/api/getUnreadNotificationsCount", {
method: "GET",
headers: {
Authorization: "Bearer " + result.data.jwt
}
})
.then(e => e.json())
.then(function(response) {
if (response.status === "1") {
if (response.msg > 0) {
AsyncStorage.setItem(
"unreadNotification",
JSON.stringify(response.msg)
);
} else {
AsyncStorage.setItem("unreadNotification", 0);
}
}
})
.catch(error => {
alert(error);
// console.error(error, "ERRRRRORRR");
});
} else {
AsyncStorage.setItem("unreadNotification", 0);

return null;
}
return { modalVisible: visible };
}
handleOpenModal = () => {
this.setState({ modalVisible: true });
};
handleCloseModal = () => {
const { handleFail } = this.props;
this.setState({ modalVisible: false }, handleFail);
};
render() {
const { modalVisible } = this.state;
const { theme } = this.props;
return (
<View>
<Modal
animationType={animationType ? animationType : "fade"}
transparent={true}
visible={modalVisible}
onRequestClose={this.handleCloseModal}
>
<View style={themes[theme] ? themes[theme] : themes.transparent}>
<OriginalComponent
handleCloseModal={this.handleCloseModal}
{...this.props}
/>
</View>
</Modal>
</View>
);
}
};

I have not used getDerivedStateFromProps but, according to the docs, it is called on initial component mount and before each render update.
Thus your code is creating a new interval timer on each update without clearing any of the earlier timers, which could be causing a race condition of some sort.
You may want to consider using the simpler alternatives listed in the docs, or at a minimum, insure that you cancel an interval before creating a new one.
