Uncaught Invariant Violation: Rendered more hooks than during the previous render

The fix works because the first code sample (the erroring one) invokes a function inside onClick, while the second (the working one) passes a function to onClick. The difference is those all-important parentheses, which in JavaScript mean ‘invoke this code’.

Think of it this way: in the first code sample, every time component is rendered, renderResults is invoked. Every time that happens, setAllResultsVisible(!allResultsVisible), rather than waiting for a click, is called. Since React performs the render on its own schedule, there’s no telling how many times that will happen.

From the React docs:

With JSX you pass a function as the event handler, rather than a string.

React Handling Events Docs

Note: I wasn’t able to get this exact error message when running the first code sample in a sandbox. My error referred to an infinite loop. Maybe a more recent version of React produces the error described?
