I'm trying to send data from inputs to redax storage. Why does the dispatch(addChild(parent)) get an error?

Error: Invalid hook call. Hooks can only be called inside of the body of a function component

import {useDispatch} from "react-redux";
import { addChild} from "../../store/actions/actions";

const Form = () => {
    const [parent, setParent] = useState([{name: "", age: ""}]);
    const [childList, setChildList] = useState([{name: "", age: ""}])
    const dispatch = useDispatch;

    const handleChange = (e, index) => {
        const { name, value } = e.target;
        const child = [...childList];
        child[index][name] = value;
        setChildList(child)
    }

    const handleSubmit = (e) => {
        e.preventDefault();
        dispatch(addChild(parent))
    }

    const addChildElement = ()=> {
        setChildList( [...childList, {name: "", age: ""}]);
    }

    return (
        <form className="form" onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
            <div className="form__parent">
                <div className="form-title">Персональные данные</div>

CodePudding user response：

This is the mistake you have made. call brackets() are missing in your useDispatch declaration.

it should be corrected like below

const dispatch = useDispatch();

Error is totally valid because now your dispatch is not the output of useDispatch. It's useDispatch itself and error is due to useDispatch hook is used inside handleSubmit.
