how to listen to a mouseover event in javascript

To listen to a mouseover event on an element in JavaScript, you can use the addEventListener() method. Here is an example:

<!-- HTML -->
<div id="myElement">Hover over me</div>
54 chars
3 lines
index.tsx
// JavaScript
const element = document.getElementById('myElement');

element.addEventListener('mouseover', function(event) {
  console.log('Mouse is over the element');
});
173 chars
7 lines

In this example, we first select the HTML element using the document.getElementById() method. Then we add a mouseover event listener to it using the addEventListener() method. This method takes two arguments: the type of event to listen for, and a function that will be called when the event is triggered.

In this case, we're using an anonymous function for the second argument that simply logs a message to the console when the mouseover event occurs. You can replace this with your own custom function or code to perform a specific action when the mouse is over the element.
