React Js Display Mouse/Cursor Position on Screen
React Js Display Mouse/Cursor Position on Screen: To display the mouse/cursor position on the screen in ReactJS, you can make use of the "onMouseMove" event and track the cursor position using the event object. First, create a state variable to store the cursor position. Then, add an event listener to the component that captures the cursor position on every mouse move event. Finally, update the state variable with the new cursor position and render it on the screen.

How can I use React JS to display the current mouse/cursor position on the screen?
This code snippet demonstrates a React.js component that displays the current position of the mouse cursor on the screen. It uses the useState and useEffect hooks from React to manage the state of the mouse position.
Initially, the mouse position is set to { x: 0, y: 0 } using the useState hook. The useEffect hook is used to add an event listener for the mousemove event on the document. When the mouse moves, the handleMouseMove function is called, which updates the mouse position state with the current coordinates obtained from the event's clientX and clientY properties.
The event listener is added in the useEffect hook's callback, and it is removed when the component is unmounted to clean up resources.
Finally, the mouse position is displayed in the component's render function using the interpolated values {mousePos.x} and {mousePos.y} within the <p> element
