# `eslint-plugin-react-hooks`
This ESLint plugin enforces the [Rules of Hooks](https://react.dev/reference/rules/rules-of-hooks).
It is a part of the [Hooks API](https://react.dev/reference/react/hooks) for React.
## 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:
```sh
# 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.
```js
// 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.
```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-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.
```js
{
"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`.
```js
{
"extends": [
// ...
"plugin:react-hooks/recommended"
]
}
```
### Custom Configuration
If you want more fine-grained configuration, you can instead add a snippet like this to your ESLint configuration file:
#### Flat Config (eslint.config.js|ts)
```js
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)
```js
{
"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.
```js
{
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
Please refer to the [Rules of Hooks](https://react.dev/reference/rules/rules-of-hooks) documentation to learn more about this rule.
