react-clickout v3.0.8

React Clickout

Higher Order Component providing clickout functionality for React components.

Installation

With Yarn:

yarn add react-clickout

With NPM:

npm install react-clickout

Usage

react-clickout returns a Higher Order Component that wraps a provided component with the ability to detect a click event outside of that component.

Such a "clickout" event will call the wrapped component's handleClickout method. (Note the character casing.)

See the test suite for more detailed example usage.

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import wrapWithClickout from 'react-clickout';

class ToWrap extends Component {
  constructor() {
    ...
    this.state = {
      isVisible: true,
    };
  }
  handleClickout() {
    this.setState({
      isVisible: false,
    });
  }

  toggleVisible() {
    this.setState({
      isVisible: !this.state.isVisible,
    });
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <div className="to-wrap__container">

        {this.state.isVisible
          ?
            <div className="box" />
          :
            null
        }

        <button onClick={this.toggleVisible} >
          Toggle Box
        </button>

      </div>
    );
  }
}

export default wrapWithClickout(ToWrap);

Excluding elements from calling handleClickout

• it is possible to prevent the handleClickout method from being called
• the elements (outside the component wrapped with react-clickout) to be excluded should be marked with the data-react-clickout attribute with the value exclude

<div data-react-clickout="exclude" />

Details

• React Clickout uses higher order functions (instead of using mixins)
• React Clickout also uses callback refs (instead of ReactDOM.findDOMNode) (which will eventually be deprecated (see here and here))

Tests

With Yarn:

yarn run test

With NPM:

npm run test

Initially a fork from react-click-outside.

Thanks to Dan Abramov for the solution of using callback refs.
