35. Rules
of
Hooks

36. Rules
of
Hooks
© ABL - The Problem Solver 36
 Hooks can only be used in functional components
 Or in other hooks
 Not in class based components
 Hooks must always be created in the same order
 Must be outside loops, conditions or nested functions
 Hooks names must be prefixed with `use`
 There is an ESLint plugin to enforce these rules

37. Hooks are
optional

38. Classes will
keep on
working
