- In HTML, the event name should be in lowercase:
Whereas in React it follows camelCase convention:
2. In HTML, you can return false
to prevent default behavior:
Whereas in React you must call preventDefault()
explicitly:
3. In HTML, you need to invoke the function by appending ()
Whereas in react you should not append ()
with the function name. (refer "activateLasers" function in the first point for example)
