To create a simple submit button for basic form in React, we can use the React onClick event handler that enables us to call a function and trigger an action when we click an element, such as a button, in our application. Event names should be written in camelCase, so the onClick event is written as onClick in React application. React event handlers always appear inside curly braces.


Steps to create a simple submit button,

  • Write a code to make the simple button, export it, and put it in a reusable component.
  • In the App.js file, import the components that we are using.
  • Put that button in your file that is the same as any other component.
  • Then add some styling to your button file.


onClick method is not only exclusive to buttons. We can use onClick in plain JavaScript applications as well. An example of the JavaScript onClick method is var item = document.


Here is an example of how you can create a simple submit button using React:

        this.state = {
            buttonState: false
        }
    }

    click(event) {
        this.setState({
            buttonState: true
        });
        setTimeout(() => this.setState(
            {buttonState: false}),
            1000
        );
    }

    render() {
        return (
            <div className="button-state">
                <button disabled={this.state.buttonState} onClick={this.click}>Click Me</button>
            </div>
        );
    }
}

export default App;

Instructions

Follow the steps carefully to get the output easily.

  1. Install the Node.js and React on your IDE(preferable Visual Studio Code).
  2. Create React Application using npx create-react-app foldername.
  3. cd foldername.
  4. Open the folder in IDE.
  5. Copy the code using "copy" button above and paste it in app.js file(remove the earlier code from app.js).
  6. Import React in app.js file.
  7. Open the terminal from IDE.
  8. npm start to run the file.
