I was including my component library (for that matter any library) in my application as @Janith did using my-comp-lib:"file:../.." (I don’t want to publish every time I want to test) and I encountered the same issue.
Invalid hook call. Hooks can only be called inside of the body of a
function component. This could happen for one of the following
reasons:
- You might have mismatching versions of React and the renderer (such as React DOM)
- You might be breaking the Rules of Hooks
- You might have more than one copy of React in the same app See react-invalid-hook-call for tips about how to debug and
fix this problem
I was able to fix this by making my app and library point to the same react (package) location.
Below are the steps I followed :
1. In Your Application:
a) cd node_modules/react && npm link
b) cd node_modules/react-dom && npm link
2. In Your Library
a) npm link react
b) npm link react-dom
3)Stop your dev-server and do `npm start` again.
It works!!

Note : This issue will not happen if you publish your package to artifactory and install because you will have react & react-dom as peer-dependencies and they won’t get included in the distribution. So your package and application use the same react which is installed in the application.
