We'll cover how to use the event in our React application and use and onDoubleClickon the same button .onClickonDoubleClick

When developing web applications or commercial software, we need to use onClickevents to perform many functions. But sometimes, we may need to call a function on double-click or disable a function on double-click.

React provides this for us onDoubleClick, whenever the user clicks twice on the element to activate it, we attach onDoubleClickthe method.

This tutorial will walk through an example of creating a new React application with a onDoubleClickbutton that has a event.

So let's create a new React application using the following command.

npx create-react-app my-app

After creating our new application in React, we will go to our application directory using this command.

cd my-app

Let's run our application to check if all dependencies are installed correctly.

npm start

We will return a button in with an event of App.jsthe function .handleDoubleClick()onClick

<button onDoubleClick={handleDoubleClick}>Click This Button </button>;

Let's create the function handleDoubleClick()that will return console.loga value.

function handleDoubleClick() {
    console.log("Double Button Click Activated");
  }

Let's add some styling to our button using CSS.

button {
  background: black;
  color: white;
  border: none;
  padding: 15px 15px;
}
button:hover {
  background: white;
  color: black;
  border: 1px solid black;
}

Output:

We can easily create any onDoubleClickevent on button and pass any functionality using these simple steps.

Now let's check how our button will respond when we add onClickand .onDoubleClick

We will include a event on the same button onClickand our code will look like this.

<button onClick={singleClick} onDoubleClick={handleDoubleClick}>
        Click This Button Twice
      </button>

Once we have added the click method, we will create a function singleClickthat will be called when the button is clicked once.

function singleClick() {
    console.log("You clicked One Time");
  }

Output:

As shown above, both methods work on the same button, but it is not accurate because when we click the button once, onClickthe method is executed.

But when we click twice on the button, onClickthe method is executed twice and at the same time onDoubleClickthe method is executed.

It is not recommended to use both methods on the same button as it will not work as expected.
