Here is a simple example of communication with react components through simple javascript events. I'm presenting this here because of the difficulty I had finding a good example online. Most of the online example had you firing the event on the component itself, or they were using eventing libraries or state libraries like Redux. Sometimes we just want something simple... I'm using code like this in a Ruby on Rails 5.1 library with the react-rails gem. I have data coming in to the client from an activemq server that the client is communicating with via websockets and javascript. Some of this data is then sent to my react components to update the page.
