As we’ve briefly seen already, you can listen to any DOM event on an element (such as click or pointermove) with an on<name> function:

App
<div onpointermove={onpointermove}>
	The pointer is at {Math.round(m.x)} x {Math.round(m.y)}
</div>

Like with any other property where the name matches the value, we can use the short form:

App
<div {onpointermove}>
	The pointer is at {Math.round(m.x)} x {Math.round(m.y)}
</div>
