React: Event handler method for Backspace

Question

I am trying to handle an event when the user presses the Backspace button.

I saw this, and I guess I can find Backspace key code using

console.log(\"Did y

You have to listen to the onKeyDown event to capture the delete action. Example:

var InputDemo = React.createClass({
    getInitialState: function() {
        return {
            message: ''
        };
    },

    onKeyDown: function(e) {
        if (e.keyCode === 8) {
            console.log('delete');
        }
    },

    handleChange: function(e) {
        this.setState({
            message: e.target.value
        });
    },

    render: function() {
        return (
            

                
            
        );
    }
});
