Hi there,

you can use form and type="submit" attributes on MDBBtn component. Use this snippet as a reference:

import React, { Component } from "react";
import { MDBBtn } from "mdbreact";

class FormPage extends Component {

  state = {
    value: ""
  }

  onSubmitHandler = event => {
    event.preventDefault();
    console.log(event)
  }

  handleChange = e => {
    const value = e.target.value;
    this.setState({ value })
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <>
        <form id="form" onSubmit={this.onSubmitHandler} >
          <input
            required
            type="text"
            id="prenom"
            className="form-control form-control-sm"
            onChange={this.handleChange}
            value={this.state.value}
          />
        </form>
        <MDBBtn type="submit" form="form">hello</MDBBtn>
      </>
    );
  }
}

export default FormPage;
