Rules for using hooks in React

Using hooks in React follows several rules and guidelines to ensure proper functionality and maintain code quality:

• Hooks should only be used at the top level of functional components: Hooks should not be called conditionally or within nested functions, loops, or other JavaScript constructs. They should always be called at the top level of a functional component or within custom hooks.
• Hooks should not be called in regular JavaScript functions or class components: Hooks are meant to be used in functional components and custom hooks. They should not be called in regular JavaScript functions or class components.
• Hooks should always be called in the same order: The order in which hooks are called within a functional component should always remain consistent across renders. React relies on the order of hook calls to properly associate stateful logic with components.
• Hooks should only be called from React function components or custom hooks: Hooks should not be called from regular JavaScript functions, event handlers, or other non-React contexts.
• Hooks should be named with a “use” prefix: By convention, custom hooks should be named with a “use” prefix to indicate that they are hooks. This helps distinguish them from regular functions and makes it clear that they follow the rules of hooks.
