reactjs - setState(...): Can only update a mounted or mounting component. This usually means you called setState() on an unmounted component. This is a no-op

Question

componentDidMount(prevProps, prevState, prevContext) {
    let [audioNode, songLen] = [this.refs.audio, List.length-1];

    audioNode.addEventListener('ended', () => {
        this._endedPlay(songLen, () => {
            this._currSong(this.state.songIndex);
            this._Play(audioNode);
        });
    });

    audioNode.addEventListener('timeupdate', () => {
        let [remainTime, remainTimeMin, remainTimeSec, remainTimeInfo] = [];

        if(!isNaN(audioNode.duration)) {
            remainTime = audioNode.duration - audioNode.currentTime;
            remainTimeMin = parseInt(remainTime/60);  // 剩余分
            remainTimeSec = parseInt(remainTime%60);  // 剩余秒

            if(remainTimeSec < 10) {
                remainTimeSec = '0'+remainTimeSec;
            }
            remainTimeInfo = remainTimeMin + ':' + remainTimeSec;
            this.setState({'time': remainTimeInfo});
        }
    });
}

componentWillUnmount () {
    let audio = this.refs.audio;
    audio.removeEventListener('timeupdate');
    audio.removeEventListener('ended');
}

Error:

Warning: setState(...): Can only update a mounted or mounting component. This usually means you called setState() on an unmounted component. This is a no-op. Please check the code for the undefined component.

I removeEventListener 'ended' in componentWillUnmount, but it is not working. because I add this.setState({'time': remainTimeInfo}); in componentDidMount.

I solved this by assigning a ref to the component and then checking if the ref exists before setting the state:

myMethod(){
  if (this.refs.myRef) 
   this.setState({myVar: true});
}

render() {
  return (
    <div ref="myRef">
      {this.state.myVar}
    </div>
  );
}

And lately, since I am using mostly functional components, I am using this pattern:

const Component = () => {
  const ref = React.useRef(null);
  const [count, setCount] = React.useState(0);

  const increment = () => {
    setTimeout(() => { // usually fetching API data here
      if (ref.current !== null) {
        setCount((count) => count + 1);
      }
    }, 100);
  };

  return (
    <button onClick={increment} ref={ref}>
      Async Increment {count}
    </button>
  );
};
