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

I want to show some records in a table using React but I got this error:

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:

  1. You might have mismatching versions of React and the renderer (such as React DOM)
  2. You might be breaking the Rules of Hooks
  3. You might have more than one copy of React in the same app See for tips about how to debug and fix this problem.
import React, {
  Component
} from 'react';
import {
  makeStyles
} from '@material-ui/core/styles';
import Table from '@material-ui/core/Table';
import TableBody from '@material-ui/core/TableBody';
import TableCell from '@material-ui/core/TableCell';
import TableHead from '@material-ui/core/TableHead';
import TableRow from '@material-ui/core/TableRow';
import Paper from '@material-ui/core/Paper';

const useStyles = makeStyles(theme => ({
  root: {
    width: '100%',
    marginTop: theme.spacing(3),
    overflowX: 'auto',
  },
  table: {
    minWidth: 650,
  },
}));

class allowance extends Component {
  constructor() {
    super();
    this.state = {
      allowances: [],
    };

  }

  componentWillMount() {
    fetch('http://127.0.0.1:8000/allowances')

I had this issue when I used npm link to install my local library, which I've built using cra. I found the answer here. Which literally says:

This problem can also come up when you use npm link or an equivalent. In that case, your bundler might “see” two Reacts — one in application folder and one in your library folder. Assuming 'myapp' and 'mylib' are sibling folders, one possible fix is to run 'npm link ../myapp/node_modules/react' from 'mylib'. This should make the library use the application’s React copy.

Thus, running the command: npm link <path_to_local_library>/node_modules/react, eg. in my case npm link ../../libraries/core/decipher/node_modules/react from the project directory has fixed the issue.

You can only call hooks from React functions. Read more here.

Just convert the Allowance class component to a functional component.

Working CodeSandbox demo.

const Allowance = () => {
  const [allowances, setAllowances] = useState([]);

  useEffect(() => {
    fetch("http://127.0.0.1:8000/allowances")
      .then(data => {
        return data.json();
      })
      .then(data => {
        setAllowances(data);
      })
      .catch(err => {
        console.log(123123);
      });
  }, []);

  const classes = useStyles();
  return ( <
    Paper className = {
      classes.root
    } >
    <
    Table className = {
      classes.table
    } >
    <
    TableHead >
    <
    TableRow >
    <
    TableCell > Allow ID < /TableCell> <
    TableCell align = "right" > Description < /TableCell> <
    TableCell align = "right" > Allow Amount < /TableCell> <
    TableCell align = "right" > AllowType < /TableCell> <
    /TableRow> <
    /TableHead> <
    TableBody > {
      allowances.map(row => ( <
        TableRow key = {
          row.id
        } >
        <
        TableCell component = "th"
        scope = "row" > {
          row.AllowID
        } <
        /TableCell> <
        TableCell align = "right" > {
          row.AllowDesc
        } < /TableCell> <
        TableCell align = "right" > {
          row.AllowAmt
        } < /TableCell> <
        TableCell align = "right" > {
          row.AllowType
        } < /TableCell> <
        /TableRow>
      ))
    } <
    /TableBody> <
    /Table> <
    /Paper>
  );
};

You can use "export default" by calling an Arrow Function that returns its React.Component by passing it through the MaterialUI class object props, which in turn will be used within the Component render ().

class AllowanceClass extends Component{
    ...
    render() {
        const classes = this.props.classes;
        ...
    }
}

export default () => {
    const classes = useStyles();
    return (
        <AllowanceClass classes={classes} />
    )
}
