Invalid hook call. Hooks can only be called inside of the body of a function component

I want to show some records in a table using React but I got this error:

Invalid hook call. Hooks can only be called inside of the body of a function component. This could happen for one of the following reasons:

1. You might have mismatching versions of React and the renderer (such as React DOM)
2. You might be breaking the Rules of Hooks
3. You might have more than one copy of React in the same app See for tips about how to debug and fix this problem.

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { makeStyles } from '@material-ui/core/styles';
import Table from '@material-ui/core/Table';
import TableBody from '@material-ui/core/TableBody';
import TableCell from '@material-ui/core/TableCell';
import TableHead from '@material-ui/core/TableHead';
import TableRow from '@material-ui/core/TableRow';
import Paper from '@material-ui/core/Paper';

const useStyles = makeStyles(theme => ({
  root: {
    width: '100%',
    marginTop: theme.spacing(3),
    overflowX: 'auto'
  },
  table: {
    minWidth: 650
  }
}));

class allowance extends Component {
  constructor() {
    super();
    this.state = {
      allowances: []
    };

  }

  componentWillMount() {
    fetch('http://127.0.0.1:8000/allowances')
      .then(data => {
        return data.json();
      })
      .then(data => {
        this.setState({
          allowances: data
        });
        console.log('allowance state', this.state.allowances);
      });
  }

  render() {
    const classes = useStyles();
    return (<Paper className={classes.root}>
        <Table className={classes.table}>
          <TableHead>
            <TableRow>

          </TableHead>
          <TableBody> {
            this.state.allowances.map(row => (<TableRow key={row.id}>
                <TableCell component="th" scope="row">{row.AllowID}</TableCell>
                <TableCell align="right">{row.AllowDesc}</TableCell>

                <TableCell align="right">{row.AllowType}</TableCell>
              </TableRow>
            ))
          }
          </TableBody>
        </Table>
      </Paper>
    );
  }

}

export default allowance;

You can only call hooks from React functions. Read more here.

Just convert the Allowance class component to a functional component.

Working CodeSandbox demo.

const Allowance = () => {
  const [allowances, setAllowances] = useState([]);

  useEffect(() => {
    fetch('http://127.0.0.1:8000/allowances')
      .then(data => {
        return data.json();
      })
      .then(data => {
        setAllowances(data);
      })
      .catch(err => {
        console.log(123123);
      });
  }, []);

  const classes = useStyles();
  return (<Paper className={classes.root}>
      <Table className={classes.table}>
        <TableHead>
          <TableRow>
            <TableCell> Allow ID </TableCell>
            <TableCell align="right"> Description </TableCell>
            <TableCell align="right"> Allow Amount </TableCell>
            <TableCell align="right"> AllowType </TableCell>
          </TableRow>
        </TableHead>
        <TableBody>{
          allowances.map(row => (<TableRow key={row.id}>
              <TableCell component="th" scope="row">{row.AllowID}</TableCell>
              <TableCell align="right"> {row.AllowDesc}</TableCell>
              <TableCell align="right"> {row.AllowAmt}</TableCell>
              <TableCell align="right">{row.AllowType}</TableCell>
            </TableRow>
          ))
        }
        </TableBody>
      </Table>
    </Paper>
  );
};

export default Allowance;
