+# Enforce event handler naming conventions in JSX (jsx-handler-names)
+
+Ensures that any component or prop methods used to handle events are correctly prefixed.
+
+## Rule Details
+
+The following patterns are considered warnings:
+
+```js
+<MyComponent handleChange={this.handleChange} />
+```
+
+```js
+<MyComponent onChange={this.componentChanged} />
+```
+
+The following patterns are not considered warnings:
+
+```js
+<MyComponent onChange={this.handleChange} />
+```
+
+```js
+<MyComponent onChange={this.props.onFoo} />
+```
+
+## Rule Options
+
+```js
+...
+"jsx-handler-names": [<enabled>, {
+  "eventHandlerPrefix": <eventHandlerPrefix>,
+  "eventHandlerPropPrefix": <eventHandlerPropPrefix>
+}]
+...
+```
+
+* `eventHandlerPrefix`: Prefix for component methods used as event handlers. Defaults to `handle`
+* `eventHandlerPropPrefix`: Prefix for props that are used as event handlers. Defaults to `on`
+
+## When Not To Use It
+
+If you are not using JSX, or if you don't want to enforce specific naming conventions for event handlers.
