I am trying to reset React state variables (to default values) in a container using setState() method. But getting the following error 

```
 Warning: setState(...): Cannot update during an existing state transition 
(such as within `render` or another component's constructor). Render methods 
 should be a pure function of props and state; constructor side-effects are an anti-pattern, 
 but can be moved to `componentWillMount`.

```

And finally: Maximum call stack size exceeded.

My code below:

```
resetMsg=()=>  {  
const company = this.state.company;
company.id = 0;
company.messages = [];    
this.setState({company: company});       
}

```

I am calling resetMsg() when variable in Redux state is true.

Code where I call resetMsg (The value of resetMessages is false initially and I need to reset React-state, when its true ):

```
    render() {
    if(this.props.resetMessages){           
        this.resetMsg();           
    }

```
