React Hooks Error: Hooks can only be called inside the body of a function component

Question

I am getting this error when using the useState hook. I have this in it\'s basic form, looking at the react docs for a reference, but am still getting this erro

Answer 1

For me, this was occurring because I had a new version of react (16.8.6) and an old version of react-dom (16.6.1).

Upgrading both to @latest (16.8.6) fixed the error.
