A React hook to detect click outside of the target(s) elements
React Hook useClickOutside
This is a React hook to detect click outside of the target(s) elements.
Usage
Common usage:
import { useClickOutside } from 'react-hook-click-outside'
const Modal = () => {
const ref = useRef();
const [isOpened, setIsOpened] = useState(false);
useClickOutside({
isActive: true,
ignoreClicksInsideRefs: [ref],
handler: () => setIsOpened(false)
})
return <div>
<button type="button" onClick={() => setIsOpened(true)}>Open modal</button>
{isOpened && <div ref={ref}>Modal</div>}
</div>
}
If you want ignore element from other tree, than you can use data-attributes:
import { useClickOutside } from 'react-hook-click-outside'
const Modal = () => {
const ref = useRef();
useClickOutside({
isActive: true,
ignoreClicksInsideRefs: [ref]
ignoreAttributeValue: 'element-from-other-tree',
handler: () => setIsOpened(false)
})
return <div>
<button type="button" onClick={() => setIsOpened(true)}>Open modal</button>
{isOpened && <div ref={ref}>Modal</div>}
</div>
}
const App = () => {
return <div>
<div data-click-outside-ignore="element-from-other-tree">Example</div>
<Modal />
</div>
}
