react Material-ui, How do I know I can use onClick for button?

The list of properties on the doc doesn't include onClick (http://www.material-ui.com/#/components/icon-button)

How do I know I need to use onClick for click handler?

The Material-UI documentation does not list the standard React (native browser) events:

https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/events.html#mouse-events

This is because it's expected that you are already aware of the available native events. For example, you can also use onWheel. It would be a long and redundant list if all the native events were included.

As kouak explains, other props (such as onClick) are passed down to a relevant child component.

Random example:

<Button color="primary" onClick={() => { console.log('onClick'); }}>
	Primary
</Button>

You can add an wrapper over the <IconButton/> to get the onClick event.

Example

render() {
  return <div class="font-icon-wrapper" onClick={this.fontIconClick}>
    <IconButton iconClassName="muidocs-icon-custom-github" />
  </div>
}

This should definitely work...

Remember, you can use onClick in every singe component that have a DOM renderer since it is a native React event (It doesn't have to be a button component).

Example 1:

<Paper
  className={classes.paper}
  onClick={() => {
    alert("✔️ This works on every component!");
  }}
>
  Click me!
</Paper>

Just add onClick to the props you pass down into <IconButton />.

Props that are not cited in the doc are passed down into their internal <EnhancedButton /> component which will handle onClick just fine.

See here : https://github.com/callemall/material-ui/blob/master/src/IconButton/IconButton.js#L241

Handling clicks

All components accept an onClick handler that is applied to the root DOM element.

<Button onClick={() => { alert('clicked') }}>Click me</Button>

Note that the documentation avoids mentioning native props (there are a lot) in the API section of the components. API for Button
