Warning: findDOMNode is deprecated in StrictMode. findDOMNode was passed an instance of Transition which is inside StrictMode

Question

I am trying to use a function as a prop inside a component and this component is a child of another component. But the function is not working.? Can I know why. This is the warning i am receiving in the console.

Warning: findDOMNode is deprecated in StrictMode. findDOMNode was passed an instance of Transition which is inside StrictMode. Instead, add a ref directly to the element you want to reference

This is my code

class Todo extends Component {
  state = {
    show: false,
    editTodo: {
      id: "",
      title: "",
      isCompleted: false
    }
  }
  handleClose = () => {
    this.setState({ show: false })
  }
  handleShow = () => {
    this.setState({ show: true })
  }
  getStyle () {
    return {
      background: '#f4f4f4',
      padding: '10px',
      borderBottom: '1px #ccc dotted',
      textDecoration: this.props.todo.isCompleted ? 'line-through'
        : 'none'
    }
  }
  //this method checks for changes in the edit field
  handleChange = (event) => {
    this.setState({ title: event.target.value })
    console.log(this.state.editTodo.title);
  }

  render () {
    //destructuring
    const { id, title } = this.props.todo;
    return (
      <div style={this.getStyle()}>
        <p>
          <input type='checkbox' style={{ margin: "0px 20px" }} onChange={this.props.markComplete.bind(this, id)} /> {''}
          {title}
          <Button style={{ float: "right", margin: "0px 10px" }} variant="warning" size={"sm"} onClick={this.handleShow}>Edit</Button>{' '}
          <Button style={{ float: "right" }} variant="danger" size={"sm"} onClick={this.props.DelItem.bind(this, id)}>Delete</Button>
        </p>
        <Modal show={this.state.show} onHide={this.handleClose}>
          <Modal.Header closeButton>
            <Modal.Title>Edit your Task!</Modal.Title>
          </Modal.Header>
          <Modal.Body >
            <FormGroup >
              <Form.Control
                type="text"
                value={this.state.editTodo.title}
                onChange={this.handleChange}
              />
            </FormGroup>
          </Modal.Body>
          <Modal.Footer>
            <Button variant="secondary" onClick={this.handleClose}>
              Close
                          </Button>
            <Button variant="primary" onClick={this.handleClose}>
              Save Changes
                          </Button>
          </Modal.Footer>
        </Modal>
      </div>
    )

  }
}

In index.js change <React.StrictMode><App /><React.StrictMode> to <App /> and you will not see this warning. Please note that strict mode helps you with

• Identifying components with unsafe lifecycles
• Warning about legacy string ref API usage
• Warning about deprecated findDOMNode usage
• Detecting unexpected side effects
• Detecting legacy context API

Please refer to https://reactjs.org/docs/strict-mode.html before removing it.
