NextJS - build fails even though dev runs fine, complaining about React Hooks where I'm not usi

Time:09-26

first-time poster here. I'm pretty new to React & JS in general, and I've been working in NextJS. Interestingly, my project runs just fine when I run next dev, but fails when I use next build.

I get the following error:

Error: React Hook "useFunction" cannot be called inside a callback. React Hooks must be called in a React function component or a custom React Hook function.  react-hooks/rules-of-hooks

What's interesting about useFunction is that it is not a Hook - I define it as a function in the same file as a component FunctionButton like so and use it as part of the onClick event handler

const useFunction = async () => {

  const result = await someStuff();
  return result

}


const FunctionButton = () => {
  return <Button onClick={() => useFunction()}>Click Me</Button>;
};

export default FunctionButton;

Any idea why this isn't building successfully? Thanks in advance!

CodePudding user response:

The reason that it thinks useFunction is a hook is because that's how React's linting checks work. They rely on the use prefix to determine that it's a hook:

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.

So, merely because your function starts with use, React takes it to be a hook. A solution would be to rename your function or add an eslint-ignore comment.

CodePudding user response:

React considers the files whose name starts with the word use as hooks even though they aren't.

There are to ways to solve the issue:

  1. simply rename your file. (does not start with use)
  2. add /* eslint-disable */ block comment at the top of the file.
