You need to use state variables to enable and disable button. Look in below enable if you click reset or reload it will toggle. Here we go with an simple way to implement disabling the back button and refresh button by using the ready-made code snippet given below. Just copy the code and paste it in your IDE with added required library. Explore more on kandi with top libraries and snippets.

         <div>
            <a onClick={()=>this.setState({isResetDisable: !this.state.isResetDisable})}> Click Reset lable to toggle button
            </a>
                <input disabled={this.state.isResetDisable}  type="button" value={this.state.isResetDisable ? 'Reset Disabled' : 'Reset Enable'} onClick={()=>{this.handleButtonPress('reset')}}/>
         </div>       
         
           
         <div>

            </a>
                <input disabled={this.state.isReloadDisable}  type="button" value={this.state.isReloadDisable ? 'Reload Disabled' : 'Reload Enable'} onClick={()=>this.handleButtonPress('reload')}/>
                
         </div>
         
     </div>
    )
  }
}

ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('root'));
