React – Prevent Event Trigger on Parent From Child

Question

You can use stopPropagation

stopPropagation – Prevents further propagation of the current event in
the bubbling phase

var App = React.createClass({
  handleParentClick: function (e) { 
    console.log('parent');
  },

  handleChildClick: function (e) {
    e.stopPropagation();
    console.log('child');
  },

  render: function() {
    return <div>
      <p onClick={this.handleParentClick}>
        <span onClick={this.handleChildClick}>Click</span>
      </p>
    </div>;
  }
});

ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('root'));
