Use Capital letter for defining functional component name  React hooks custom components   const  app  should be const  App     App js  import React    useState   from  react   import   Component   from  react   import logo from    logo svg   import    App css   import Person from    Person Person    const App   props   gt      const  personState  setPersonState    useState       persons                name   a   age   1               name   b   age   2               name   c   age   3                    return          lt div gt        lt Person name    personState persons 0  name  age  personState persons 0  age  gt  First  lt  Person gt        lt Person name    personState persons 1  name  age  personState persons 1  age  gt  Second  lt  Person gt        lt Person name    personState persons 2  name  age  personState persons 2  age  gt  Third  lt  Person gt                export default App    Person js  import React from  react    const person    props    gt    return            lt div gt   lt p gt  My name is  props name  and my age is  props age  lt  p gt   lt p gt  My name is  props name  and my age is  props age  and  props children  lt  p gt   lt p gt  props children  lt  p gt           lt  div gt          ReactHooks   useState   ReactJs

Do not use arrow function to create functional components   Do as one of the examples below   function MyComponent props      const  states  setStates    React useState   value            return        lt input       type  text        value  states value        onChange   event    gt  setStates   value  event target value           gt           Or    IMPORTANT  Repeat the function name  const MyComponent   function MyComponent props       const  states  setStates    React useState   value            return        lt input       type  text        value  states value        onChange   event    gt  setStates   value  event target value           gt            If you have problems with  ref   probably in loops   the solution is to use forwardRef        IMPORTANT  Repeat the function name    Add the  ref  argument to the function  in case you need to use it   const MyComponent   React forwardRef  function MyComponent props  ref      const  states  setStates    React useState   value            return        lt input       type  text        value  states value        onChange   event    gt  setStates   value  event target value           gt

Whenever working with a React functional component  always keep the first letter of the name of the component in Uppercase in order to avoid these React Hooks errors    In your case  you have named the component app  which should be changed to App  as I said above  to avoid the React Hook error

React components names should be capitalized and custom hooks functions should start with the use keyword to identify as a react hook function   So  capitalize your app components to App

User · Answer

First of all  you need to uppercase the FirstLetter of your components  in your case app should be App and person should be Person   I tried to copy your code in the hope of finding the issue  Since you did not share how you call the App component  I can only see 1 way to result this to an issue   This is the link in CodeSandbox  Invalid hook call   Why  Because of the code below which is wrong   ReactDOM render App    rootElement     It should have been   ReactDOM render  lt App   gt   rootElement     For more info  you should read Rule of Hooks - React  Hope this helps

In JSX  the lower-case tag name is considered as html native component  In order to react recognise the function as React component  need to Capitalized the name    Capitalized types indicate that the JSX tag is referring to a React component  These tags get compiled into a direct reference to the named variable  so if you use the JSX  lt Foo   gt  expression  Foo must be in scope    https   reactjs org docs jsx-in-depth html html-tags-vs -react-components

I had the same issue  turns out that Capitalizing the  A  in  App  was the issue  Also  if you do export  export default App  make sure you export the same name  App  as well

I had the same issue  but not with the App  I had a custom class but used a lowercase letter to start the function name and also received the error   Changed the first letter of the function name and the export line to CamelCase and error gone   in my case the end result was something like   function Document            export default Document    this solved my problem

The solution  as Yuki already pointed  is to capitalize the component name  It s important to note that not only the  default  App component needs to be capitalized  but all components   const Person        gt   return        export default Person    This is due to eslint-plugin-react-hooks package  specifically isComponentName   function inside RulesOfHooks js script   Official explanation from Hooks FAQs      We provide an ESLint plugin that enforces rules of Hooks to avoid bugs  It assumes that any function starting with    use    and a capital letter right after it is a Hook  We recognize this heuristic isn   t perfect and there may be some false positives  but without an ecosystem-wide convention there is just no way to make Hooks work well     and longer names will discourage people from either adopting Hooks or following the convention

In the app function you have incorrectly spelled the word setpersonSate  missing the letter t  thus it should be setpersonState   Error   const app   props   gt         const  personState  setPersonSate    useState         Solution   const app   props   gt             const  personState  setPersonState    useState

React components  both functional as well as class  must begin with a capital letter  Like const App  props   gt  lt div gt Hey lt  div gt   class App extends React Component     render         return  lt div gt Hey lt  div gt          React identifies user-defined components by following this semantic  React s JSX transpiles to React createElement function which returns an object representation of the dom node  The type property of this object tells whether it is a user-defined component or a dom element like div  Therefore it is important to follow this semantics Since useState hook can only be used inside the functional component or a custom hook  this is the reason why you are getting the error because react is not able to identify it as a user-defined component in the first place  useState can also be used inside the custom hooks which is used for the reusability and the abstraction of logic  So according to the rules of hooks  the name of a custom hook must begin with a  quot use quot  prefix and must be in a camelCase
