Why does usePage().props break my website?

I'm a beginner in Laravel/InertiaJS. I'm following the tutorial at Laravel Bootcamp.

The following line of code makes the screen load blank, with no errors. If I comment this line out, it loads normally.

const { auth } = usePage().props;

Here's my code:

HandleInertiaRequests.php

public function share(Request $request)
{
    return array_merge(parent::share($request), [
        'auth' => [
            'user' => $request->user(),
        ],
        'ziggy' => function () {
            return (new Ziggy)->toArray();
        },
    ]);
}

.

Controller

public function index(): Response
{
    return Inertia::render('Chirps/Index', [
        'chirps' => Chirp::with('user:id,name')->latest()->get(),
    ]);
}

.

Chirps/Index Component

export default function Index({ auth, chirps }) {
    const { data, setData, post, processing, reset, errors } = useForm({
        message: '',
    });

    ...

    return (
        <Authenticated auth={auth}>
                ...
                    {chirps.map(chirp =>
                        <Chirp key={chirp.id} chirp={chirp} />
                    )}
                ...
        </Authenticated>
    );
}

.

Chirp Component (with the error)

export default function Chirp({ chirp }) {
    // The page loads normally when I comment out the line below. Otherwise it loads blank with no error.
    const { auth } = usePage().props;

    return (
        <div>
        </div>
    );
}

.

I think I've included everything important above. Please tell me if I'm missing anything.

I need to know: Doesn't why this line of code from Laravel Bootcamp work?

Bonus points: Why am I not getting an error?

EDIT: I'm getting errors in the browser console.

Uncaught Error: usePage must be used within the Inertia component

I had the same problem. In the end the problem was changing:

import { createInertiaApp } from '@inertiajs/inertia-react';

to

import { createInertiaApp } from '@inertiajs/react';

in my app.tsx (or app.js if you are not using typescript)
