eslint-plugin-react-hooks

The official ESLint plugin for React which enforces the Rules of React and other best practices.

Installation

Note: If you're using Create React App, please use react-scripts >= 3 instead of adding it directly.

Assuming you already have ESLint installed, run:

# npm
npm install eslint-plugin-react-hooks --save-dev

# yarn
yarn add eslint-plugin-react-hooks --dev

Flat Config (eslint.config.js|ts)

>= 6.0.0

For users of 6.0 and beyond, add the recommended config.

// eslint.config.js
import reactHooks from 'eslint-plugin-react-hooks';
import { defineConfig } from 'eslint/config';

export default defineConfig([
  {
    files: ["src/**/*.{js,jsx,ts,tsx}"],
    plugins: {
      'react-hooks': reactHooks,
    },
    extends: ['react-hooks/recommended'],
  },
]);

5.2.0

For users of 5.2.0 (the first version with flat config support), add the recommended-latest config.

import reactHooks from 'eslint-plugin-react-hooks';
import { defineConfig } from 'eslint/config';

export default defineConfig([
  {
    files: ["src/**/*.{js,jsx,ts,tsx}"],
    plugins: {
      'react-hooks': reactHooks,
    },
    extends: ['react-hooks/recommended-latest'],
  },
]);

Legacy Config (.eslintrc)

>= 5.2.0

If you are still using ESLint below 9.0.0, you can use recommended-legacy for accessing a legacy version of the recommended config.

{
  "extends": [
    // ...
    "plugin:react-hooks/recommended-legacy"
  ]
}

< 5.2.0

If you're using a version earlier than 5.2.0, the legacy config was simply recommended.

{
  "extends": [
    // ...
    "plugin:react-hooks/recommended"
  ]
}

Custom Configuration

If you want more fine-grained configuration, you can instead choose to enable specific rules. However, we strongly encourage using the recommended presets — see above — so that you will automatically receive new recommended rules as we add them in future versions of the plugin.

Flat Config (eslint.config.js|ts)

import * as reactHooks from 'eslint-plugin-react-hooks';

export default [
  {
    files: ['**/*.{js,jsx}'],
    plugins: { 'react-hooks': reactHooks },
    // ...
    rules: {
      'react-hooks/rules-of-hooks': 'error',
      'react-hooks/exhaustive-deps': 'warn',
    }
  },
];

Legacy Config (.eslintrc)

{
  "plugins": [
    // ...
    "react-hooks"
  ],
  "rules": {
    // ...
    "react-hooks/rules-of-hooks": "error",
    "react-hooks/exhaustive-deps": "warn"
  }
}

Advanced Configuration

exhaustive-deps can be configured to validate dependencies of custom Hooks with the additionalHooks option. This option accepts a regex to match the names of custom Hooks that have dependencies.

{
  rules: {
    // ...
    "react-hooks/exhaustive-deps": ["warn", {
      additionalHooks: "(useMyCustomHook|useMyOtherCustomHook)"
    }]
  }
}

We suggest to use this option very sparingly, if at all. Generally saying, we recommend most custom Hooks to not use the dependencies argument, and instead provide a higher-level API that is more focused around a specific use case.

Valid and Invalid Examples
