React Events

React events are the actions due to user interaction or system events. React allows developers to handle these events using a declarative approach, making it easier to create interactive and dynamic user interfaces.

Event declaration in react is different from HTML, React uses:

  • the camelCase convention instead of lowercase letters.
  • JSX is used in react instead of plain html.

Event Declaration in HTML

<button onclick="handleClick()">
Click Me!
</button>

Event Declaration in React:

<button onClick={handleClick}>
Click Me!
</button>

React Events

React Events are user interactions with the web application, such as clicks, keyboard input, and other actions that trigger a response in the user interface. Just like HTML DOM, React also acts upon the events.
