How Do the KendoReact Buttons Work?

The KendoReact Buttons are built natively for React, with no dependencies. They leverage key React concepts such as components-based architecture, props and state management, conditional rendering, and event handling.

You have complete control over your React buttons and you can extend or override their default behaviors and appearance via props and event handlers.
