So just for clarification: You were importing a hook (say I agree that this is confusing. I'm not sure though if we have a way of knowing if any other React module is rendering. AFAIK we try to run React in isolation as much as possible so that multiple React instances can work in the same global context without issues. Otherwise we could probably update the error message and mention this case as well if it's not too confusing. |
|
Yes, I compared This issue is to raise awareness of this case and maybe improve the error message in some way to help people that face this. It's probably very edge though. |
|
Yup, i tried to npm link a package i'm creating. It throws that same error since the other package is also using hooks but with its own React. I had to publish my package to NPM and then import it directly from NPM. That way the error was gone, but i hope this is fixed since publishing a package without testing it is bad, obviously |
|
Lerna monorepos suffer from this as well when a custom hook is defined in one package and used by another as the symlinked dependencies use their own copy of react. I have a (hacky) workaround at the moment using "prestart": "npm-link-shared ./node_modules/<other package>/node_modules . react" |
|
I had the same issue and I resolved it by adding: to It's was obviously my mistake of using two copies of React but I agree that it would be great if the error message was better. I think this is maybe similar to: #2402 |
|
@mpeyper It works. Thanks |
|
@apieceofbart That worked for me. Thanks for the suggestion. 👍 |

As I understand this problem arises when there are multiple copies of React in the same bundle. Is this also a problem if two separate bundles with their own copies of React are bootstrapping their own React applications on separate dom elements, like described here: https://medium.jonasbandi.net/hosting-multiple-react-applications-on-the-same-document-c887df1a1fcd I think the latter is a common "integration" pattern used for instance in the single-spa meta-framework (https://github.com/CanopyTax/single-spa). |

I'm very excited to finally put Hooks into production, and we all owe a huge thank you to everyone who made it possible. They're a ton of fun to work with and have made my code shorter and more declarative. Just as a heads up, this issue is still relevant in the released version with the same unhelpful error message of "Hooks can only be called inside the body of a function component." Is this something that can be fixed? I imagine it might become more and more prevalent as more devs start to implement the new features, and a clearer error message would go a long way in lieu of an outright "fix". Thanks again for all the hard work and congrats on the release! It's really an amazing set of features. Edit: Should have looked closer at the open PRs, just found #14690 that addresses this. Thanks @threepointone! |

Hello, I also have this issue. I read through the page carefully and checked everything and could not see anything amiss. I have a custom component library in React 18.2.0 and a Project in React 18.2.0. Both use Vite for bundling. I am using serve side rendering with The issue is always occurring if I enable SSR, I don't see it if I only use client side rendering, which makes think that it might be due to that In my library I have created a dummy hook: function testHook() {
console.log('testHook: testHook');
console.log('testHook: React', React);
console.log('testHook: ReactDOM', ReactDOM);
console.log('testHook: testHook');
const [testBool, setTestBool] = useState(false);
useEffect(() => {}, []);
}I am calling this hook in my top level page component: function Page() {
//@ts-ignore
ReactDOM.testNew = 'testNew'; // I can see that this appended in my lib
//@ts-ignore
React.test = 'test'; // I can see that this appended in my lib
const test = testHook();
return <></>;
}I also checked if ./node_modules/react-dom/index.js
if (typeof window !== 'undefined') {
window.React1 = require('react');
}
./page/dummy.tsx
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
...
if (typeof window === 'undefined') {
return <></>;
}
@ts-ignore
window.React2 = require('react');
@ts-ignore
console.log(window.React1 === React); // trueSo It seems to me that I am doing everything correctly and still see this issue. I saw that the issue goes away if I do either:
Appendix:I am unsure if this helps but here are also my Vite bundling configs of my lib: /// <reference types="vitest" />

I hit this error today on a component which renders a sub-component and attaches a callback ref to that sub-component. Inside the handler for that callback ref, it was calling a method which eventually called Not sure if integral to the repro, but it also relied on accidentally double-rendering our entire dev page on page load. We were accidentally loading the entire webpack bundle twice, so the first render was getting unmounted and blown away by the second render. It was quite hard to track down and didn't fit the three things listed in the troubleshooting error message. A big part of the difficulty was that the error was being reported from a hooks/function component which was being rendered as a sibling of the aforementioned host component, not a child. |

Hello, I believe I have part of the solution for this error message. This error message can present itself in multiple ways depending on the exact APIs used in your component. I believe it all boils down to React detecting multiple copies of itself, even if they are the exact same version. Issue(s):Warning: Invalid hook call. Hooks can only be called inside of the body of a function component. This could happen for one of the following reasons:
TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'useState') Solution:
Run your app and hopefully the React error will be resolved! ReproducingThis error can be reproduced with this minimal setup. I hope this helps some people out there. Thank you! |

Hi there fellow Dev's, I am struggling with this issue to, mine is related to plugin development. I created two functional components for a plugin in WordPress: one called edit (used in the back-end for displaying the plugin in the block editor) and another called RecentPosts (which is supposed to be integrated into edit.js for more functionality). Here's the code for edit: Here's the code for RecentPosts: After running my scripts using the command To solve this problem, I clicked on the link provided in the error which brought me to this page. After clicking on the link provided in the red box, I got to this page. Over there, I found a list and analysis of possible causes of this error, I checked for all of them but it turned out that I didn't make any of the mistakes they referred to or violated the rules for React hooks. I also prompted ChatGPT (3.5), it gave me the following response:

Please help me resolve this problem. Here is the The main issue is that I am unable to reproduce the problem. The error appears randomly, once in a few hours, mostly when I reload the page.

I was experiencing this same issue when attempting to use
However, I found this only partially fixed the issue. Because the project I was attempting to link was a react component library that in turn made use of various other react libraries (react-router, ag-grid, @mui/material, etc) I needed to add aliases for all these other dependencies as well for local development (for production, they are all marked as peer dependencies & externals). So my webpack configuration ended up looking more like this: |

Sorry to disturb/notify all the followers of this issue, but for anyone coming here with a monorepo setup like npm workspaces, please make sure you don't have react included as dependencies multiple places, and also check any dangling package-lock.json or yarn.lock. I struggled with this issue for a couple of days, and in the end it all came down to a package-lock.json in one of the workspaces that had some react references that I didn't think of. |

If you are implementing a react component library and having this issue, try to include multiple versions in the peerDependencies. "peerDependencies": { |

Here's another way to get this error on Windows specifically. I had it in a Next.js project and in the end it was webpack that had a problem. Anyway, the problem was that I used PowerShell and went to the project directory using commands like
Note how it's not capitalized. Windows is case insensitive and will find the directory anyway, and PowerShell doesn't care to check if the casing is right, so it just takes whatever you enter. Indeed, you can just use any casing that you want:
As you see, commands such as SolutionEnsure that the path has correct casing. When using commands like
when pressing tab turns into
...which is then correct. Or install an "Open PowerShell here" to the right click context menu (can be done using regedit) to avoid having to navigate to your React project in PowerShell at all. |

I have a react.js app which is added to our clients' websites as a widget. The clients' websites can be built on any tool e.g. wordress / angular / react etc. We've two types of widgets On clients' sites we simply add a script and stylesheet of our build's index.js and index.css files hosted on s3. Till this part it works just fine e.g. Here's a sample build we've: In my app we can have multiple grids which are to be lazy loaded based upon the client ( e.g. in the above build you can see the trips grid being lazy loaded ). We need this so that our build size doesn't increase much and on any individual client's site only the grids relevant to that client are loaded. Now this works fine when I include either the Here's an example of loader which is lazy loading trips grids: Here's a sample trip grid's code: I get the following error when trips grids ( or any other grids are lazy loaded - also these errors occur happen randomly not always ) I've looked into it and spent hours.

In my understanding, two react version is mean there exists something wrong, when functions apply react. But it's not the true problem sometime. The error may caused by wrong module caches, or wrong build config (different module use different react version will cause the issue).
Some time i only need delete all the module caches, and re install modules by force option, and reopen the editor, re-build project again. And the issue fixed.:)
Just my understanding through my own experience, hope can help u.

Subject: Re: [facebook/react] Hooks + multiple instances of React (#13991)
I'm getting this error when I use the getParams hook from react-router-dom. Other hooks work fine like useLocalStorage from @uidotdev/usehooks.
I also always get false from the multiple reacts test. I'm using imports instead of require so not sure if this is right:
in react-dom/index.js
import react from 'react'; window.React1 = react;
In my component
import react from 'react'; window.React2 = react; console.log(window.React1 === window.React2);
This always gives me false, even if I remove react-router-dom. Here is the output of npm ls react:
Without react-router-dom
***@***.*** .../previewer2
├─┬ ***@***.***
│ └── ***@***.*** deduped
└── ***@***.***
With react-router-dom
***@***.*** .../previewer2
├─┬ ***@***.***
│ └── ***@***.*** deduped
├─┬ ***@***.***
│ ├─┬ ***@***.***
│ │ └── ***@***.*** deduped
│ └── ***@***.*** deduped
└── ***@***.***
First questing is, do I have 2 reacts or not? Second is why does using getParams specifically cause this error? Note that I'm not using react-router-dom for anything other than getParams, app is a very simple single page, no routing.

What is the current behavior?
I had multiple instances of React by mistake.
When trying to use hooks, got this error:
hooks can only be called inside the body of a function componentWhich is not correct since I was using function components. Took me a while to find the real cause of the issue.
What is the expected behavior?
Show the correct error message. Maybe detect that the app has multiple instances of React and say that it may be the reason of bugs.
