Creating a simple submit button for basic form in React

by Abdul Rawoof A R Updated: Jan 24, 2023

In this kit, we're going to see how to create a simple submit button for basic in React with simple steps. To submit a form using the Enter key in React: Add a button element with type set to submit . Add an onSubmit prop that points to a submit handler function. Every time the user presses Enter, the handle submit function will be invoked. The form can be submitted without using submit button by implementing a specific event attribute or by clicking the link. This task can be done by using the OnClick event attribute or by using the form. submit() method in Javascript. To implement this simple task, use the ready-made code snippet below by just copying the code and paste it in your IDE with React library.
