Got the Invalid Hook Call error breaking the page.

System configuration

• Shakapacker or Sprockets version: sprockets-rails 3.4.2
• React-Rails version: react-rails 3.2.0
• React_UJS version:

I'm trying to use hooks within my rails project. I have been successfully using react-rails within the asset pipeline without webpacker. When I create a react class I use extends React.Component without the need to import anything. When I try to implement any form of hooks using React.useState(""), it gives me the Invalid Hook call console error. I've checked the requirements for this error and I seem to be doing everything correctly.

Hey @justin808, the current project doesn't have support shakapacker or webpacker which appears to be a prerequisite of react_on_rails. I'm trying to get react_rails working with hooks but if I can't I'll have to wait until the project is updated to rails 7
