Event-triggered network requests

When implementing user interactions that trigger network requests, use precise event handling techniques to ensure reliable network operations. Specifically, check event properties like event.button (which button was pressed) rather than event.buttons (which buttons are currently pressed) to correctly handle user intent.

For mouse events that initiate network calls:

// Only handle network request when the main button is pressed (left click)
const handleRequestButtonClick = (event) => {
  if (event.button === 0) {  // 0 represents left mouse button
    fetchDataFromAPI();
  }
};

For keyboard events, use appropriate event management to prevent unintended network activity:

const handleKeyDown = (event) => {
  // Prevent navigation shortcuts from triggering network requests
  if (event.altKey && (event.key === 'ArrowLeft' || event.key === 'ArrowRight')) {
    event.stopPropagation();
    return;
  }
  
  // Proceed with network request if Enter key is pressed
  if (event.key === 'Enter') {
    fetchDataFromAPI();
  }
};

This prevents accidental network requests from middle/right clicks or keyboard shortcuts, improving user experience and reducing unnecessary server load.
