# react-outside-click-handler
> A React component for handling outside clicks
## Usage
```jsx
import OutsideClickHandler from 'react-outside-click-handler';
function MyComponent() {
return (
<OutsideClickHandler
onOutsideClick={() => {
alert('You clicked outside of this component!!!');
}}
>
Hello World
</OutsideClickHandler>
);
}
```
## Props
### children: `PropTypes.node.isRequired`
Since the `OutsideClickHandler` specifically handles clicks outside a specific subtree, `children` is expected to be defined. A consumer should also not render the `OutsideClickHandler` in the case that `children` are not defined.
*Note that if you use a `Portal` (native or `react-portal`) of any sort in the `children`, the `OutsideClickHandler` will not behave as expected.*
### onOutsideClick: `PropTypes.func.isRequired`
The `onOutsideClick` prop is also required as without it, the `OutsideClickHandler` is basically a heavy-weight `<div />`. It takes the relevant clickevent as an arg and gets triggered when the user clicks anywhere outside of the subtree generated by the DOM node.
### disabled: `PropTypes.bool`
If the `disabled` prop is true, outside clicks will not be registered. This can be utilized to temporarily disable interaction without unmounting/remounting the entire tree.
### useCapture: `PropTypes.bool`
See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/JavaScript/Building_blocks/Events#Event_bubbling_and_capture for more information on event bubbling vs. capture.
If `useCapture` is true, the event will be registered in the capturing phase and thus, propagated top-down instead of bottom-up as is the default.
### display: `PropTypes.oneOf(['block', 'flex', 'inline-block', 'inline', 'contents'])`
By default, the `OutsideClickHandler` renders a `display: block` `<div />` to wrap the subtree defined by `children`. If desired, the `display` can be set to `inline-block`, `inline`, `flex`, or `contents` instead. There is no way not to render a wrapping `<div />`.
