# Rules for Using Hooks

There are two rules to adhere to while using hooks.

- Only call hooks at the [Top Level](https://reactjs.org/docs/hooks-rules.html#only-call-hooks-at-the-top-level), i.e., not within conditionals, loops, or nested functions.
- Only call hooks from React functions, i.e., functional components and custom hooks.

This ESLint [plugin](https://www.npmjs.com/package/eslint-plugin-react-hooks) is great to ensure you adhere to these rules within your projects.
