React – Preventing Form Submission

by

I think it’s first worth noting that without javascript (plain html), the form element submits when clicking either the <input type="submit" value="submit form"> or <button>submits form too</button>. In javascript you can prevent that by using an event handler and calling e.preventDefault() on button click, or form submit. e is the event object passed into the event handler. With react, the two relevant event handlers are available via the form as onSubmit, and the other on the button via onClick.
