You can also go to the search page 🔍 to find another event.
Composition events get triggered when the user enters text.
The event allows you to access that data through the "data" field.

interface CompositionEvent<T = Element> extends SyntheticEvent<T, NativeCompositionEvent> {
data: string;
}Full example
import React, { CompositionEvent } from 'react';

const handleCompositionEvent = (e: CompositionEvent<HTMLInputElement>) => {
// Do something
};
return <input value="Some text" onCompositionStartCapture={handleCompositionEvent} />;
};
export default InputComponent;
