ReferenceError: Cannot access 'useAccount' before initialization

Server Error
ReferenceError: Cannot access 'useAccount' before initialization

Please how do I solve this error message?

The error suggests you're accessing useAccount before it's defined.

Ensure:

• It's declared before use.
• There's no typo.
• Imports/exports are correct if it's from another module.

Can you share the code section where useAccount is declared and used?

const { connect, connectors } = useConnect();

const [isLoggedIn, setIsLoggedIn] = useState(false);

    if (!isConnected) {

This path is located on the Components/header.js

[AndreaZero]

You've imported the useAccount function and then, within the Header component, you're attempting to call useAccount() as if it's a function and at the same time, you're trying to extract a variable named useAccount from what that function returns.

This creates confusion and a conflict.

In simpler terms: you're using the same name "useAccount" for both an imported function and an internal variable, and this is causing the error.

You need to decide which one you want and adjust the code accordingly.

[Danny-johziy]

Please can you give me a little fix of which line of code to make amendment to?

[AndreaZero]

The error is in this line of code:
const { address, useAccount } = useAccount();

To fix it, you should:

Change the variable name you're trying to destructure from the useAccount() function to avoid a naming conflict. If you intended to get the address and another variable (let's call it userDetails for example), the line would look like:

const { address, userDetails } = useAccount();

Then, make sure to update any other parts of your code where you've used the old variable name.

This should resolve the issue!
