React hook order violations occur when hooks are called conditionally, inside loops, or after early returns. AST-based code verification detects these patterns by analyzing the syntax tree to enforce top-level unconditional hook calls, preventing runtime failures like "Rendered fewer hooks than expected."

Your React component renders fewer hooks than expected because hooks are called conditionally or after early returns, breaking state alignment. AST analysis identifies these Rules of Hooks violations to ensure hooks remain at the top level of function components and custom hooks.

Check a React file for conditional hook calls by running AST-precise Rules of Hooks verification. This process detects hooks executed within conditionals, loops, short-circuit operators, ternaries, try/catch blocks, or after early returns to fix structural violations.

AST analysis does catch hooks called inside try/catch blocks and short-circuit operators. It provides hook-level accuracy for React components and custom hooks by enforcing top-level unconditional calls across all control flow patterns that violate the Rules of Hooks.

You can use Rules of Hooks enforcement for compatible hook-based libraries like Preact and SolidJS patterns. The AST-based detection applies the same top-level unconditional hook call discipline required by React to prevent hook order corruption across similar ecosystems.
