Prop | Type | Required | Default | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
children | ReactNode | true | The element(s) you want to trigger the onClickOut callback when clicked outside of | |
enabled | boolean | false | true | Enables or disables the clickout behavior. This can be useful to ensure the onClickOut callback is only executed when you want it to be. |
events | string[] | false | ['mousedown', 'touchstart'] | Allows for specifying custom events to trigger the onClickOut callback |
ignoredElements | Object[] | false | [] | An array of refs for elements to exclude from triggering the clickout behavior |
onClickOut | (ev: Event) => any | true | Function to be called when the clickout behavior is triggered. Receives the click event as an argument. |
Examples
Excluding element(s)
If there are any elements outside of your ClickOutHandler component that you do not want to trigger the clickout behavior when clicked, you can pass a ref to the ignoredElements
prop.
import { useRef, useState } from 'react'
import { ClickOutHandler } from 'react-clickout-ts'
const Component = () => {
const ignoreRef = useRef<HTMLElement | null>(null)
const handleClickOutside = (ev: Event) => {
console.log('Clicked outside')
}
return (
<div>
<div ref={ignoreRef}>This should be ignored!</div>
<ClickOutHandler ignoredElements={[ignoreRef.current]} onClickOut={handleClickOutside}>
<div>Content goes here</div>
</ClickOutHandler>
</div>
)
}
