Handling Events in React Components

Interactivity is a core aspect of modern web applications, and React provides a straightforward way to handle user interactions and events. React handles events similarly to how events are handled in regular HTML and JavaScript, but with some syntactical differences. Let's see how we can handle events in React.

Why event handling matters

• Interactivity: Events allow users to interact with our application.

• Dynamic behavior: Event handling enables components to respond to user input, such as clicks, typing, and form submissions.

• User experience: Proper event handling enhances the user experience by making applications more intuitive and responsive.

Understanding event handling in React

In React, events are named using camelCase, rather than lowercase. For example, the HTML onclick event is written as onClick in React.
