Tracking a button click as an event in GA4 without GTM
I'd like to set up two Events simply for button clicks. Without GTM, I can't seem to figure out if this is possible. GA4 is advertising itself as being able to easily track more events directly in the platform, but I can't find any documentation on setting up an Event for a simple button click.
To recap, this website won't support GTM. Is it possible to setup a 'button click' as an Event in GA4?
Thanks for the help.

The code for an event looks like:
gtag('event','button_click');
You need that to run when the button is clicked. e.g.
<button onclick="gtag('event','button_click');"
