React events
From wikinotes
You can subscribe to HTML DOM events with callbacks similarly to javascript.
except that events are in camelcase
and callbacks are defined as methods rather than strings.
React DOM events are abstracted, so they behave the same on all browsers. See SyntheticEvent docs.

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> ); } }
EventHandler Arguments
You can bind arguments to the event-handler using lambda expressions in the event-handler.
// if the method signature accepta a param, it will be passed the element <button onClick{(e) => this.deleteRow(id, e)}>Delete Row</button>// 'this' refers to the element that triggered the event <button onClick{this.deleteRow.bind(this, id)}>Delete Row</button>
