You can't use a hook outside a functional React component. You can use the client directly to make queries and mutations -- just bear in mind that any queries ran this way will not be observable (i.e. won't be updated if the cache changes).

const client = new ApolloClient({
  link: ApolloLink.from([
    onError(({ graphQLErrors, networkError, operation, forward }) => {
      client.mutate({ mutation, variables })
        .then(({ data }) => {
          console.log(data)
        })
        .catch((error) => {
          console.log(error)
        })
    }),
    new HttpLink({...}),
  ]),
})

export default client
