## Action - reaction!
### Instructions
OK, you have now connected HTML, CSS and JS altogether ; big day! Excited? Exhausted?
Well so far, you've only scratched the surface... Let's go deeper into the power of JS! You're going to add some interaction ; the webpage will react when a user action will happen, called an [event](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Events) (a click, a key pressed, a mouse move, etc.).
Let's put a button on the top right corner of the page, that will toggle (close or open) the left eye when clicked.
Add it in the HTML structure:
```
<button>Click to close the left eye</button>
```
Add the style in the CSS file:
```
button {
z-index: 1;
position: fixed;
top: 30px;
right: 30px;
padding: 20px;
}
```
In the JS file, get the HTML button element with [`querySelector`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Document/querySelector), and [add an event listener](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/EventTarget/addEventListener) on [`click` event](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Element/click_event#javascript), triggering a function that will:
- change the [text content](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Node/textContent) of the button: if the eye is open, write "Click to close the left eye", if the eye is closed, write "Click to open the left eye"
- [toggle](https://css-tricks.com/snippets/javascript/the-classlist-api/) the class `eye-closed` in the `classList` of the `eye-left` HTML element
- change the background color of the `eye-left`: if the eye is open, to "red", if the eye is closed, to "black"
### Code examples
Add an event listener on click on a button that triggers a function:
```js
// events allow you to react to user inputs
// (any action with the mouse, keyboard, etc.)
// it's the foundation of the interactivity of your website
// each event is linked to an element or the window
// for this example we will attach a click event to a button
// first we select the button HTML element
const button = document.querySelector('button')
// we need to create a function
// that will be executed when the event is triggered
// let's call it `handleClick`
const handleClick = (event) => {
// do semething when the button has been clicked
}
// register the event:
button.addEventListener('click', handleClick)
// here we ask the button to call our `handleClick` function
// on the 'click' event, so every time it's clicked
```
