Synthetic Clicks Now Allowed?

[abrdgrt]

I'm just finding out that synthetic clicks (isTrusted: false) are now allowed in react, please from what version was this implemented, what was the reason for the change and lastly would it be reverted in the future?

Synthetic clicks refer to a technique where a program simulates user clicks on a computer system, in the context of ReactJS or any other front-end framework, these are generally not a built-in feature or explicitly allowed practice. They typically refer to programmatically generated mouse clicks, often used for testing or malicious purposes like security exploits.

Hanks for taking time out of your day to reply. I'm aware, to be specific I'm referring to clicks with the event - isTrusted set as false

Do you know the answer to the question I asked?

ReactJS itself does not directly implement the generation of synthetic events with isTrusted set to false.
If you need to create a simulated event with isTrusted set to false in React, you would have to do it using plain JavaScript, outside the scope of React's built-in event handling system. This is because React's Synthetic Event system is not designed for creating artificial events but rather for handling real user interactions in a cross-browser compatible way.

I'll take it you do not understand the question I'm asking or you do not know the answer to it. It used to be that you couldn't use .click() on react websites in the past, websites like web.whatsapp.com could not be operated without using frameworks like puppeteer which supported synthetic clicks and sets them as trusted. It's no longer the case now, I am asking which version this came to be, why it was changed (so I'll know if I'm to expect a change like that in the future)
