I have a button, inside this button is a fontawesome svg. The listener is on the button only, not on the svg. Though, when I click on the svg, the event.target is not the button.
But I only need the button as target.
Here's the code:
const icon = '<svg aria-hidden="true" data-prefix="fas" data-icon="paragraph" class="svg-inline--fa fa-paragraph fa-w-14 " role="img" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 448 512"><path fill="currentColor" d="M408 32H177.531C88.948 32 16.045 103.335 16 191.918 15.956 280.321 87.607 352 176 352v104c0 13.255 10.745 24 24 24h32c13.255 0 24-10.745 24-24V112h32v344c0 13.255 10.745 24 24 24h32c13.255 0 24-10.745 24-24V112h40c13.255 0 24-10.745 24-24V56c0-13.255-10.745-24-24-24z"></path></svg>';
class App extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
}
handleClick(event) {
event.stopPropagation();
console.log(event.target);
}
render() {
return (
<div>
<button onClick={this.handleClick}>
<span dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{__html: icon}} />
</button>
</div>
)
}
}
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('root'));

You should use: event.currentTarget
, which is always the object listening for the event.
The event.target
is the actual target that received the click.
It can be done in multiple ways. I prefer the CSS way of doing it, applying pointer-events : none to the children span.
Codepen : https://codepen.io/imsontosh/pen/mzeqNx
button {
background: #eee;
border: 1px solid #ddd;
width: 150px;
span{
pointer-events:none;
}
}
