Handling Events

In React, event handling is similar to handling events in traditional HTML. However, React introduces a different syntax for event handling.

To handle events in React, you need to assign an event handler function to the corresponding event attribute in JSX.

Here's an example of an event handler in React:

1// Example of an event handler in React
2
3function handleClick() {
4  console.log('Button clicked!')
5}
6
7return (
8  <button onClick={handleClick}>Click Me</button>
9)

In the example above, we define a function handleClick that logs a message to the console when the button is clicked. The function is then assigned to the onClick attribute of the button element.

When the button is clicked, React calls the event handler function specified in onClick and executes the corresponding logic.

You can also pass arguments to the event handler function by using an arrow function or by binding the arguments directly to the event handler. This allows you to pass additional data to the event handler when the event occurs.

Event handling in React is flexible and allows you to handle various kinds of events, such as button clicks, form submissions, keyboard input, etc. By leveraging React's event handling capabilities, you can create interactive and responsive UIs.
