What are events in React?

In React, events are the triggers that cause a function to be called in response to a specific action. Examples of events include clicking a button, hovering over an element, or pressing a key.

To handle an event in a React component, you define a function that serves as the event handler and attaches it to the event using the on prefix and the event name, such as onClick or onChange. When the event occurs, the event handler function is called with an event object that contains information about the event, such as the event type and any data associated with the event.

Here is an example of a button element with an onClick event handler in a React component:

import React from 'react';

function MyButton() {
  function handleClick(event) {
    console.log('Button was clicked');
  }

  return (
    <button onClick={handleClick}>Click me</button>
  );
}
