Report #100550

[bug\_fix] React error \#321: "Invalid hook call... You might have more than one copy of React in the same app."

Run npm ls react \(or yarn why react / pnpm list react\) to detect duplicate react/react-dom copies. Fix the dependency tree: update versions, move react to peerDependencies in the offending library, or force a single version using npm overrides / yarn resolutions / pnpm overrides. You can also configure your bundler to alias react to a single path.

Journey Context:
I installed a third-party UI library and every component using hooks crashed with React error \#321. The message mentioned multiple React copies, and npm ls react showed both [email protected] and [email protected]. The library had declared react as a regular dependency instead of a peerDependency, bundling its own copy. I added an npm override to force a single React version and asked the library maintainers to fix their peer declaration. Hooks worked again because React's dispatcher is a singleton that must be the exact same module instance for both the component code and react-dom.
