click-outside-element

This is a very simple function that I use in most of all the project. Usually I create it inside utils directory in my project, but I decide to put it in the npmjs package.

How to use it:

Vanila JS

...
  <div id="container-wrapper">
      ...
    </div>
...

import clickOutside from 'click-outside-element'


function handler() {
  // handle event
}

clickOutside(document.getElementById("container-wrapper"), handler)

React JS

import clickOutside from 'click-outside-element'


function App() {
  const wrapperRef = useRef(null);

  const handler = () => {
    console.log('Clicked outside of the element!');
  };

  clickOutside(wrapperRef, handler);

  return (
    <div ref={wrapperRef}>
      <p>Click outside of this element to trigger the handler function.</p>
    </div>
  );
}

Svelte JS

import clickOutside from 'click-outside-element'


  const handler = () => {
    console.log('Clicked outside of the element!');
  };

<div use:clickOutside={handler}>
      <p>Click outside of this element to trigger the handler function.</p>
    </div>
