Error: Invalid hook call when using with redux - django

Question

Sorry if I am asking a beginner's level question. I am new to React.js and recently I have been trying to grasps the concepts by following this tutorial:
JustDjango
What I am trying to accomplish is creating a login form which uses redux to store the states, my code is as follows :
import React from 'react';
import { Form, Icon, Input, Button, Spin } from 'antd/lib';
import { connect } from 'react-redux';
import { NavLink } from 'react-router-dom';
import * as actions from '../store/actions/auth';
const FormItem = Form.Item;
const antIcon = <Icon type="loading" style={{ fontSize: 24 }} spin />;
class NormalLoginForm extends React.Component {
handleSubmit = (e) => {
e.preventDefault();
this.props.form.validateFields((err, values) => {
if (!err) {
this.props.onAuth(values.userName, values.password);
this.props.history.push('/');
}
});
}
render() {
let errorMessage = null;
if (this.props.error) {
errorMessage = (
<p>{this.props.error.message}</p>
);
}
const { getFieldDecorator } = this.props.form;
return (
<div>
{errorMessage}
{
this.props.loading ?
<Spin indicator={antIcon} />
:
<Form onSubmit={this.handleSubmit} className="login-form">
<FormItem>
{getFieldDecorator('userName', {
rules: [{ required: true, message: 'Please input your username!' }],
})(
<Input prefix={<Icon type="user" style={{ color: 'rgba(0,0,0,.25)' }} />} placeholder="Username" />
)}
</FormItem>
<FormItem>
{getFieldDecorator('password', {
rules: [{ required: true, message: 'Please input your Password!' }],
})(
<Input prefix={<Icon type="lock" style={{ color: 'rgba(0,0,0,.25)' }} />} type="password" placeholder="Password" />
)}
</FormItem>
<FormItem>
<Button type="primary" htmlType="submit" style={{marginRight: '10px'}}>
Login
</Button>
Or
<NavLink
style={{marginRight: '10px'}}
to='/signup/'> signup
</NavLink>
</FormItem>
</Form>
}
</div>
);
}
}
const WrappedNormalLoginForm = Form.useForm()(NormalLoginForm);
const mapStateToProps = (state) => {
return {
loading: state.loading,
error: state.error
}
}
const mapDispatchToProps = dispatch => {
return {
onAuth: (username, password) => dispatch(actions.authLogin(username, password))
}
}
export default connect(mapStateToProps, mapDispatchToProps)(WrappedNormalLoginForm);
The error traceback shows that the error is coming from :
76 | const WrappedNormalLoginForm = Form.useForm()(NormalLoginForm);
77 |
78 | const mapStateToProps = (state) => {
79 | return {
Some google search on this particular error shows that this error has something to do with hooks being defined in a classed based component , however i do not understand why :
const mapStateToProps = (state) => {......
is considered a hook
Will greatly appreciate anybody's help!

React hooks only used by functional components. You used class components.
Shortly, Form.useForm() the method is only used functional components, you can read it from this link below:
