You can subscribe to DOM events with callbacks similarly to javascript.
except that events are in camelcase
and callbacks are defined as methods rather than strings.

Example

A component, whose element subscribes to the DOM event through onClick.

class HelloWorld extends React.Component {
  sayHello() {
    console.log('hello')
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <button onClick={() => this.sayHello()}> // anonymous callback variation
        Say Hello
      </button>

      <button onClick{sayHello}>               // instance-method callback variation
        Say Hello
      </button>
    );
  }
}
