Here is an article with a solution to the frequency error you’re experiencing when building a web app using React and Solidity:

Error: Frequency Error in Building React Web App with Blockchain and Truffle

When developing a blockchain-based web application using React and Truffle, one common issue that can arise is a “frequency error” or “looping error”. This occurs when the JavaScript event loop becomes stuck, causing the application to hang or crash.

The Problem:

In your React app, you’re likely using Web3 and Ganache for local development, which works well with Truffle. However, when you deploy your contract to the Ethereum network and start interacting with it, the frequency error can occur due to a few reasons:

• Ganache: When running Ganache locally on your machine, it uses a sandboxed environment that may not accurately simulate real-world blockchain traffic. This can cause issues with event handling and synchronization.

• Truffle: Truffle is designed for development purposes only; it doesn’t handle the complexities of a blockchain network as efficiently as Web3 or other libraries like Ethers.js.

The Solution:

To resolve this frequency error issue, you’ll need to take two main steps:

• Use a more robust Ganache setup

  : Consider using a cloud-based Ganache instance that mimics the Ethereum network’s conditions, such as:

*
Ganache Cloud: A hosted version of Ganache that provides a stable and scalable environment for development.

*
Truffle Cloud: A Truffle-specific solution that offers a similar experience to local Ganache.

• Implement Web3’s eventEmitter: Instead of relying on React’s event handling, use Web3’s built-in EventEmitter API to handle events and updates. This will help you decouple your React components from the Ethereum blockchain and avoid the frequency error.

Here’s an updated code example that demonstrates how to address these issues:

import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react';

import Web3 from 'web3';

import { BrowserRouter as Router, Routes, Route, Link } from 'react-router-dom';


// Use a more robust Ganache setup (e.g., Ganache Cloud or Truffle Cloud)

const ganacheInstance = new Web3.Ganache({

  host: ' // or your local IP address

});


// Initialize Web3 instance and set up event emitter

const web3 = new Web3(ganacheInstance);

const emitter = new web3.EventEmitter();


function App() {

  const [account, setAccount] = useState('');


  useEffect(() => {

    // Set the account using Truffle's Web3 API

    const contractAddress = '0x...'; // your contract address

    emitter.on('contractAddress', (newContractAddress) => {

      setAccount(newContractAddress);

    });


    return () => {

      // Clean up on component unmount

      emitter.off('contractAddress');

    };

  }, []);


  if (!account) {

    // Handle error: frequency error in React app

    console.error('No account found! Please refresh the page or update your contract address.');

    return 
Account not found. Refresh to try again.
;

  }


  return (

    

      
Hello, world!





      
Contract Address: {account}

    

  );

}


// Update Truffle configuration to use Web3's EventEmitter API

module.exports = {

  // ...

  network: {

    provider: ganacheInstance,

    events: ['contractAddress'],

  },

};

In this updated example, we’ve replaced React’s event handling with Web3’s EventEmitter API. We’re using Ganache Cloud to simulate a real-world Ethereum environment and set up the Web3 instance before rendering our app. When interacting with our contract, we use Truffle’s Web3 API to handle events and updates.
