reactjsHow do I add an onclick event to a ReactJS button?


Adding an onclick event to a ReactJS button is a simple process. First, you need to create a function that will be called when the button is clicked. For example:

const myFunction = () => {
  console.log('Button clicked!');
}

Next, you need to add the onClick attribute to the button element and pass in the function as the value.

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

When the button is clicked, the myFunction function will be called and the message Button clicked! will be logged to the console.

Code explanation

  • const myFunction = () => { - This is the start of the function that will be called when the button is clicked
  • console.log('Button clicked!'); - This is the code that will be executed when the button is clicked
  • <button onClick={myFunction}>Click Me!</button> - This is the button element with the onClick attribute set to the myFunction function
