React js onClick can't pass value to method

Question

I want to read the onClick event value properties. But when I click on it, I see something like this on the console:

SyntheticMouseEvent {dispatchConfig: Ob         


        

Answer 1

Making alternate attempt to answer OP's question including e.preventDefault() calls:

Rendered link (ES6)

 this.handleSort(e, 'myParam')}>

Component Function

handleSort = (e, param) => {
  e.preventDefault();
  console.log('Sorting by: ' + param)
}
