Invalid Hook Call in React #47

Description

@Mike-PF

When creating a basic React project using the library, I get the following error:
`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:

  1. You might have mismatching versions of React and the renderer (such as React DOM)
  2. You might be breaking the Rules of Hooks
  3. You might have more than one copy of React in the same app
    See https://reactjs.org/link/invalid-hook-call for tips about how to debug and fix this problem.

The project is about as simple as it can be - React 8.2.0, @react-pdf-viewer/core 3.12.0 & @react-pdf-viewer/default-layout@3.12.0

The App.js is
`import { Viewer, Worker } from '@react-pdf-viewer/core';
import { defaultLayoutPlugin } from '@react-pdf-viewer/default-layout';

import '@react-pdf-viewer/core/lib/styles/index.css';
import '@react-pdf-viewer/default-layout/lib/styles/index.css';

const defaultLayoutPluginInstance = defaultLayoutPlugin();

export default function App() {
return (

<div style={{ height: '750px' }}>
<Viewer
fileUrl={${process.env.PUBLIC_URL}/document.pdf}
plugins={[
defaultLayoutPluginInstance,
]}
/>


);
}`

In the browser, when I look at the code the line that seems to cause the issue is
var _t = React__namespace.useState({ data: fileUrl, name: typeof fileUrl === 'string' ? fileUrl : '', shouldLoad: false, })

Do you have any idea what can be causing the problem. If I add a useState to the App.js file, it works as expected, it only seems to be in the library that it causes an issue?
