OutsideClick.js is a JavaScript library that provides a simple way to handle clicks outside of a specified element. This is particularly useful for modal dialogs, dropdowns, and other components where you want to detect interaction outside the component to close or modify its state.
You can install the library via npm:
npm install @kembec/outside-click-jsImport the outsideClick function from the library, specify the element ID, the callback function for outside clicks, and an optional timeout to delay the event handling. This is useful in scenarios where you may want to ensure that the DOM has completed certain updates or animations before attaching the event listener.
import { outsideClick } from '@kembec/outside-click-js';
outsideClick('myElementId', () => {
console.log('Clicked outside the specified element!');
}, 500); // The event handler will be attached after a 500 ms delay.Contributions are welcome! If you'd like to help improve this plugin, please feel free to submit a pull request or open an issue on the GitHub repository.
