What are events in React?

When some actions are performed in React, such as hovering the mouse or pressing a key, clicking the button, trigger events. These events perform a set of activities as a response to these triggers. Handling an event in React similar to how we handle it in DOM architecture.

Events created in React as shown below. In this example, we are handling onPress event.

const SampleFunctionalComponent = ({ name }) => {

const displayName = () => {
// handle event here
}
 return (
        <ListItem onPress={() => displayName()} key={id} >
{name}
</ListItem>

)
}

export default SampleFunctionalComponent

const styles = StyleSheet.create({})
