Cancel all subscriptions in a useEffect cleanup function created by Context.Consumer - reactjs

Question

Each time when onClick executes I received a warning message about memory leak. How component can be can unsubscribed from the Context.Consumer in my functional component with useEffect hook?
I did not find a way how to unsubscribe from the AppContext. AppContext.unsubsribe() did not work.
import React, {useState, useContext} from 'react';
import {withRouter} from 'react-router-dom';
import axios from 'axios';
import {AppContext} from "../context/AppContext";
const LoginPage = (props) => {
const [name, setName] = useContext(AppContext);
const [isLoading, setIsLoading] = useState(false);
const onClick = () => {
setIsLoading(true);
axios.post('/get-name')
.then(resp => {
setName(resp);
setIsLoading(false);
props.history.push('/');
})
.catch(err => console.log(err))
.finally(() => setIsLoading(false));
};
return (
<div>
<button onClick={onClick}></button>
</div>
);
};
export default withRouter(LoginPage);
Error message in the browser console:
Warning: Can't perform a React state update on an unmounted
component. This is a no-op, but it indicates a memory leak in your
application. To fix, cancel all subscriptions and asynchronous tasks
in a useEffect cleanup function.

Your problem is that axios is returning a promise, so when the component is mounted, it executes axios.post(...) on click. When it THEN unmounts (while the promise could still be "unfinished"), the setState of its finally will execute AFTER the component unmounted.
You can use an easy check if the component is mounted:
import React, {useState, useContext, useEffect} from 'react';
import {withRouter} from 'react-router-dom';
import axios from 'axios';
import {AppContext} from "../context/AppContext";
const LoginPage = (props) => {
const [name, setName] = useContext(AppContext);
const [isLoading, setIsLoading] = useState(false);
const isMounted = useRef(null);
useEffect(() => {
// executed when component mounted
isMounted.current = true;
return () => {
// executed when unmount
isMounted.current = false;
}
}, []);
const onClick = () => {
setIsLoading(true);
axios.post('/get-name')
.then(resp => {
setName(resp);
setIsLoading(false);
props.history.push('/');
})
.catch(err => console.log(err))
.finally(() => {
if (isMounted.current) {
setIsLoading(false)
}
});
};
return (
<div>
<button onClick={onClick}></button>
</div>
);
};
export default withRouter(LoginPage);

As the warning states, in your UserPage component you need to perform a cleanup on useEffect to avoid memory leaks.
Refer to Docs how to require cleanup after an effect.
useEffect(() => {
function handleStatusChange(status) {
setIsOnline(status.isOnline);
}
ChatAPI.subscribeToFriendStatus(props.friend.id, handleStatusChange);
return () => {
ChatAPI.unsubscribeFromFriendStatus(props.friend.id, handleStatusChange);
};
});

Thanks to #Bennet Dams I could solve my issue, this is my code following his example
const isMounted = useRef(null);
useEffect(() => {
isMounted.current = true;
fetchRequestsData();
return () => {
isMounted.current = false;
};
}, []);
async function fetchRequestsData() {
//My previous code which led to the warning
/* const { data } = await axios({
url: '../api/random/my-requests',
method: 'get',
});
setSuspendedRequests(data.suspended); */
let data;
axios
.get('../api/random/my-requests')
.then((resp) => {
data = resp.data;
})
.catch((err) => console.log(err))
.finally(() => {
if (isMounted.current) {
setSuspendedRequests(data.suspended);
}
});
}
