React Hook Useeffect Has a Missing Dependency useEffect missing dependency, need advice

I am developing a react plugin called use-models, and i have ran into an issue and i'm having trouble determining what is the proper technique for dealing with the issue.

So, basically my plugin is for hooks and it allows you to define some state object with validation, and use input helpers. if you want to hydrate the state, perhaps from a db call or localstorage, you need to call hydrate() with an update object.

So, i wrote a simple function in my plugin:

function hydrate( _state, _errors=false ) {
    console.log('hydrate()');
    setState({...state,..._state});
    if(_errors){
        setErrors({...errors,..._errors});
    }
}

and my intent was for users to use this like so:

useEffect(()=>{
    hydrate({
        name:'Garrett',
        email:'test@test.com',
        newsletter: 'yes'
    });
},[]);

this works exactly how i intended it, however it leads to the dreaded linter warning:

React Hook useEffect has a missing dependency: 'hydrate'

Hmm, so how to solve this:

Should i simply change my example to pass in hydrate as a dependency? this feels wrong to me, as hydrate never changes.

So i thought to solve it at library level, by modifying hydrate:

function hydrate( _state, _errors=false ) {
    console.log('hydrate()');
    return useEffect(()=>{
        setState({...state,..._state});
        if(_errors){
            setErrors({...errors,..._errors});
        }
    },[_state,_errors]);
}

this works to eliminate the warning, but then i realized that users are still going to need to call hydrate() from within useEffect() on their components. Now i'm at a loss for what to do. can anyone give advice? if i pass hydrate as a dependency to useEffect() then the effect is executed on every re-render!
