Examples

ClickOut.bindCustomEvent(element)

CustomEvent is supported in all major browsers. If you need support for old browsers check this polyfill.

const element = document.querySelector('#myElement');

// Emit 'clickout' event when you click outside of element
ClickOut.bindCustomEvent(element);

// Listen on 'clickout' event emitted from the element
element.addEventListener('clickout', (e) => {
  console.log(`You clicked an element outside of ${e.target}`);
})

// elsewhere on your code
element.addEventListener('clickout', (e) => {
  console.log(`I'm triggered too on clickout ${e.target}!`)
})

ClickOut.bind(element, onClickOut)

const element = document.querySelector('#myElement');

// Trigger a function only when you click outside of a specific HTMLElement
ClickOut.bind(element, (e) => {
  console.log(`You clicked ${e.target} and it's out of ${element}`)
});

ClickOut.destroy(element)

Destroy bindCustomEvent

const element = document.querySelector('#myElement');

ClickOut.bindCustomEvent(element);

element.addEventListener('clickout', (e) => {
  console.log(`You clicked an element outside of ${e.target}`);
});

ClickOut.destroy(element);

/**

const destroyClickOutElement = ClickOut.bindCustomEvent(element);

element.addEventListener('clickout', (e) => {
  console.log(`You clicked an element outside of ${e.target}`);
});

destroyClickOutElement();

Destroy bind function

const element = document.querySelector('#myElement');

ClickOut.bind(element, (e) => {
  console.log(`You clicked ${e.target} and it's out of ${element}`)
});

ClickOut.destroy(element);

/**

const destroyClickOutElement = ClickOut.bind(element, (e) => {
  console.log(`You clicked ${e.target} and it's out of ${element}`)
