React Hooks issues in React 16.7 TypeError: Object(...) is not a function

Question

I'm running the latest version of React and I'm getting this error I have a simple Component using React Hooks as you can see here :

import React, { useState } from "react";

const AppFunction = () => {
  const [count, setCount] = useState(0);

  const incrementCount = () => {
    setCount(count + 1);
  };
  return (
    <div>
      <h1>Count:{count} </h1>
      <button onClick={incrementCount}>Click Me</button>
    </div>
  );
};

export default AppFunction;

Everything i've found about it on stack overflow says to upgrade the libraries but I have the latest version (16.7.0) and have tried the alpha version with no luck , what am i doing wrong?

package.json

"dependencies": {
    "react": "^16.7.0",
    "react-dom": "^16.7.0",
    "react-scripts": "2.1.1"
  },

Answer 1

UPDATE

Hooks are now release as part of React v16.8.0. You can use hooks by upgrading your react version

See the docs for more details on the APIs

---

React 16.7.0 Doesn't contain hooks.

As per the React blog

Our latest release includes an important performance bugfix for React.lazy. Although there are no API changes, we’re releasing it as a minor instead of a patch.

In order to run hooks in your code, refer How to use new Feature Hooks in React?

Answer 2

I tried to use the following in package.json but do not work.

"react": "16.7.0-alpha.2",
"react-dom": "16.7.0-alpha.2",

What worked is the following

"react": "next",
"react-dom": "next",

EDIT

React version v16.8.0 has Hooks inside. Use that.
