I am on the lesson Learn React: Create a Component with Composition. Every time i start to write my code in, the whole page freezes up. What is going on? IT has been like this for 36 hours! Please help me, I am about to lose my mind!

Hello there,

It would help to see your code (I realise this might be difficult). The likely cause is something mentioned in this: https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/freeCodeCamp/issues/36118

This is easily avoidable, if you ensure not to render a component within itself.

Hope this helps

I keep doing this,

<ParentComponent> </ParentComponent>
Is this the problem?

Most user-generated components do not need explicit </> closing tags.

To expand: In React, there are many cases where that is used, and is not a problem. However, throughout the fCC React curriculum, you are not asked to do this.

What I was referring to before was something like this is NOT a good idea:

const myComponent = () => {
  return (
    <div>
      <myComponent />
    </div>
  )
}

Hope this helps

Hmm, okay. But I had not done anything yet past what I have shown you. I’ll try something else in my code.
