ReactJS: how to trigger form submit event from another event

Question

I\'ve two react events:

1. Form submit event

   sendMessage: function(event){
       console.log(event);
       event.preventDefault();
   },
            
   
   
           

Answer 1

It's your component, so you don't need to worry about passing actual events around. You have some event handlers, and then you have the actual action.

sendMessage: function(){
    console.log('message:', this.state.message);
},
handleFormSubmit: function(event){
    event.preventDefault();
    this.sendMessage();
},
handleTextareaKeypress: function(event){
    if (event.which == 13 && !event.shiftKey){
        this.sendMessage();
    }
}
