click-outside

The inverse of the DOM "click" event

For those times when you want a callback invoked when a DOM element was not clicked, you can use this click-outside module.

This module is meant for use client-side via a bundler like browserify.

Installation

$ npm install click-outside

Example

var clickOutside = require('click-outside');

var container = document.querySelector('.container');

container.onclick = function (e) {
  console.log('"container" was clicked');
};

var unbind = clickOutside(container, function (e) {
  console.log('"container" was *NOT* clicked');
});


// at some point later... invoke the `unbind()` function to stop watching
setTimeout(function () {
  unbind();
}, 5000);
