How to Correctly Dispatch Redux Actions from Custom Click Events in React

If you're working with React and Redux, you might have come across a frustrating issue: trying to dispatch a Redux action from a custom click handler, only to be met with an error message stating, "Invalid hook call. Hooks can only be called inside of the body of a function component." This can be quite confusing, especially if you're new to React Hooks. In this post, we’ll dive into the problem and provide effective solutions to help you successfully dispatch Redux actions from events triggered by user interactions.

Understanding the Problem

The root of the problem stems from the way React Hooks work. Specifically, hooks like useDispatch must be called at the top level of a function component (or another custom hook) and cannot be called in nested functions, including event handlers. When you try to use useDispatch inside your custom click handler, React throws an error because it's not permissible to use hooks in that manner.

Here's an example of the problematic code:

The solution lies in restructuring your code to adhere to the rules of hooks.

Solutions to Dispatch Actions Correctly

Solution 1: Create a Custom Hook

One effective way to avoid the invalid hook call error is to encapsulate your click handler within a custom hook. This ensures that the useDispatch hook is called correctly. Here’s how you can implement this solution:

Solution 2: Use useCallback Hook

Another way to define the click handler is by using the useCallback hook along with dispatch. This method allows you to define your click function in a way that maintains reference equality across renders. Here’s how you can implement this solution:

Summary of Changes

Custom Hook: Wrap your functionality in a custom hook to properly call useDispatch without errors.

useCallback: Utilize useCallback for defining your click handler, maintaining references across renders and allowing for the proper dispatch of actions.

Conclusion

By following these solutions, you can successfully dispatch Redux actions in response to user events without encountering the “Invalid hook call” error. Whether you choose to implement a custom hook or use useCallback, you’ll ensure compliance with React’s rules of hooks. Now, your app can handle state changes dynamically and responsively as users interact with your interface. Happy coding!
