React onClickCapture is an event handler that gets triggered whenever we click on an element. like onclick, but the difference is that onClickCapture acts in the capture phase whereas onClick acts in the bubbling phase i.e. phases of an event.
Prerequisite:
- Introduction and installation of ReactJS
- Phases of JavaScript Event
Syntax:
<button onClickCapture={function}/>
Creating React Application:
Step 1: Create a react project folder, for that open the terminal, and write the command npm create-react-app folder name. Suppose you have already installed create-react-app globally. If you haven’t, install create-react-app globally using the command npm -g create-react-app or install locally by npm i create-react-app.
npm create-react-app project
Step 2: After creating your project folder(i.e. project), move to it using the following command.
cd project
Project Structure: It will look like this:
Example: In this example, we are creating a button with the label “Click me”, whenever we are clicking on the button. The onClickCapture event will call onClickCaptureHandler, a function that will show the text “onClickCapture” in the console.
App.js
Javascript
function App() { const onClickCaptureHandler = () => { console.log("onClickCapture!"); }; return ( <div className="App"> <h1> Hey Geek!</h1> <label>Please click on the button</label> <button onClickCapture={onClickCaptureHandler}> click Me! </button> </div> );}export default App; |
Step to Run Application: Run the application using the following command from the root directory of the project.
npm start
Output:
