React onTouchStart Event

Last Updated : 23 Jul, 2025

React onTouchStart event fires when the user touches one or more points in the element or tag. Similar to other elements in it, we have to pass a function for process execution.

It is similar to the HTML DOM ontouchstart event but uses the camelCase convention in React.

Syntax:

onTouchStart={function}

Parameter:

  • The function will call once the user touches any part of the element or tag.

Return type:

  • event: It is an event object containing information about the event like target element and values

Example 1: In this example, we implemented a TouchStart area in it where when the user touches it will give a message in the browser console through function.

Output :

Example 2 : In this example, we implemented an area where the user, when touched, will get an alert that a touch event is fired.
