javascript - React / MUI : How to call other class with hook to button in main App.js

Question

I'm new to React/MUI.. I'm creating different components for now for a website, so the UI for now doesn't matter.

I'm facing this problem while trying to do a button to link me to the Sign Up page (Doing the same for Sign In):

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: ...

The following is my code:

SignUp.js

import React from 'react';
import Avatar from '@material-ui/core/Avatar';
import Button from '@material-ui/core/Button';
import CssBaseline from '@material-ui/core/CssBaseline';
import TextField from '@material-ui/core/TextField';
import FormControlLabel from '@material-ui/core/FormControlLabel';
import Checkbox from '@material-ui/core/Checkbox';
import Link from '@material-ui/core/Link';
import Grid from '@material-ui/core/Grid';
import Box from '@material-ui/core/Box';
import LockOutlinedIcon from '@material-ui/icons/LockOutlined';
import Typography from '@material-ui/core/Typography';
import { makeStyles } from '@material-ui/core/styles';
import Container from '@material-ui/core/Container';

const useStyles = makeStyles((theme) => ({
    paper: {
        marginTop: theme.spacing(8),
        display: 'flex',
        flexDirection: 'column',
        alignItems: 'center',
    },
    avatar: {
        margin: theme.spacing(1),
        backgroundColor: theme.palette.secondary.main,
    },
    form: {
        width: '100%', // Fix IE 11 issue.
        marginTop: theme.spacing(3),
    },
    submit: {
        margin: theme.spacing(3, 0, 2),
    },
}));

export default function SignUp() {
    const classes = useStyles();

App.js

import React from 'react';
import Container from '@material-ui/core/Container';
import Typography from '@material-ui/core/Typography';
import SignUp from './sign-up/SignUp.js';
import SignIn from './sign-in/SignIn.js';
import Box from '@material-ui/core/Box';
import Link from '@material-ui/core/Link';
import { Button, Paper } from '@material-ui/core';

export default function App() {
    return (    
        <div>
            <Container maxWidth="sm">
                <Box my={4}>
                    <Typography variant="h4" component="h1" gutterBottom>
                        Creating a website!
            </Typography>
                    <ProTip />
                    <button onClick={SignUp}>
                        Click me!
                    </button>
                    <SignIn />
                    <Copyright />
                </Box>
                </Container>
        </div>
    );
}

How do I properly convert in this case?

Answer 1

You're trying to call a React component as an event handler:

<button onClick={SignUp}>

That will not work. Instead you can for example create a flag, set it to true in the onClick handler and then render SignUp based on this flag.

const [showSignUp, setShowSignUp]= React.useState(false)
... 
<button onClick={()=>setShowSignUp(s=>!s)}>Click me!</button>
{showSignUp ? <SignUp /> : <SignIn />}
