TypeError: dispatcher.useState is not a function

See original GitHub issue

If you hit this error, you’re trying to use hooks after upgrading react to 16.7, but you haven’t upgraded react-dom to the same version!

The experience could be improved by checking for dispatcher.getState here https://github.com/facebook/react/blob/504576306461a5ff339dc99691842f0f35a8bf4c/packages/react/src/ReactHooks.js#L17, and throwing an error that explains your -dom package is out of date.

Closing because there is no real bug here, just hope somebody finds this useful

Had a similar issue but I had to specify exact version 16.7.0-alpha.2 as a dep rather than the default ^16.7.0-alpha.2 that would resolve to 16.7.0 in my lockfile.
