How to Prevent React Page Refresh on Submit with Confirmation Popup: A Simple Solution

If you're building a feedback form in React and you find that your confirmation popup disappears as soon as the form is submitted, you're not alone. This common issue usually arises because the page refreshes too quickly after submitting the form, causing the popup to vanish before the user can confirm their action. In this guide, we will explore the problem and how you can effectively solve it with a few simple code adjustments.

Understanding the Problem

When a form is submitted in React (or any web framework, for that matter), the default behavior is to refresh the page. This can be problematic when you want a confirmation dialog to occur after submission, giving users a chance to review their input. In the given code, the confirmation dialog appears when the user clicks the submit button, but since the page refreshes almost immediately, users do not get the chance to interact with the dialog. Instead, they see it only momentarily before being redirected.

The Solution: Modify the Handle Close Function

The key to solving this issue is to modify the handleClose function associated with the confirmation dialog. By controlling when the page navigation occurs, you can ensure users have enough time to see and interact with the confirmation popup.

Step-by-Step Implementation

Here's how to do it:

Modify the handleClose function: We will add the page redirection to the handleClose function instead of the onSubmitForm function. This way, the page will only redirect after the user has confirmed the dialog.

Updated handleClose function:

Remove page navigation from the onSubmitForm function: Ensure that the page doesn't navigate away before the dialog is acknowledged by the user.

How This Works

Prevent Default Behavior: By calling e.preventDefault(), we stop the automatic page refresh that happens upon form submission.

Show Confirmation First: After successful feedback submission, we invoke handleClickOpen(), which opens the confirmation dialog.

Redirect After Confirmation: The page will only redirect after the user closes the confirmation dialog by clicking the 'Close' button, giving them a chance to review the message they've submitted.

Conclusion

By implementing this simple modification to your React feedback form, you can enhance the user experience significantly. Users will now see the confirmation dialog clearly without the distraction of the page refreshing too quickly. This small change can make a big difference in the usability of your form, ensuring that users feel more in control of their submissions.
