Don't call a React function component

Read Original

This article addresses a common React error: 'Rendered fewer hooks than expected.' It explains that directly calling a function component (e.g., in an array.map callback) violates the Rules of Hooks, as it can lead to conditional hook calls. The solution is to use the component with JSX syntax (<Counter />) instead of a direct function call to ensure hooks are always called consistently.
