I hope I'm not repeating a question. I've seen this one: TypeError dispatcher.useState is not a function when using React Hooks, however my App runs fine, it is only an error in Flow:

Cannot import `useState` because there is no `useState` export in `react`.

   4| import { useState } from 'react';

I am using 16.7.0-alpha for my react and react-dom dependencies:

 "dependencies": {
    ...
    "react": "^16.7.0-alpha",
    "react-dom": "^16.7.0-alpha"
  },

This is the only error I get from Flow, other React elements are fine. Is there something wrong with my dependencies?

This is the top of my file:

// @flow

import React from 'react';
import { useState } from 'react';

Edit: I also went into my node_modules/react folder and verified that the useState function is indeed in there.

Update Nov 11 2018 - Brian Vaughn from the React team has added Flow types for React hooks and it has been merged - https://github./facebook/flow/pull/7149/

The React Flow types are not yet updated as seen here.

You could make a PR to update it if you are up for it (:

After searching everywhere Found the Solution Use Flow as mentioned by many developers above I tried installing flow and it works

npm i -D flow-babel-webpack-plugin works for me, but

Also If that not work try once this also "flow-bin": ">=0.44.2 <1",
