Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

React Click Outside

Build Status npm

Enhance a React component with a Higher Order Component that provides click outside detection.

Note: React 0.14 required for version >= 2.x. This assumes react and react-dom is installed in your project. Continue using version 1.x for React 0.13 support.

Note: Use version >= 2.3.0 to get rid of React.createClass warnings in React 15.5.

Usage

Installation:

npm install react-click-outside

Some component that you wish to enhance with click outside detection:

const createReactClass = require('create-react-class');
const enhanceWithClickOutside = require('react-click-outside');
const React = require('react');

const Dropdown = createReactClass({
  getInitialState() {
    return {
      isOpened: false,
    };
  },

  handleClickOutside() {
    this.toggle();
  },

  toggle() {
    this.setState({ isOpened: !this.state.isOpened });
  },

  render() {
    ...
  },
});

module.exports = enhanceWithClickOutside(Dropdown);

Note: There will be no error thrown if handleClickOutside is not implemented.

Options

Instead of a React Component or render function an options argument can be passed.

module.exports = enhanceWithClickOutside({ event: 'momusedown' })(Dropdown);

When passing an options argument, then the decorator will be returned.

wrappedRef prop

Use the wrappedRef prop to get access to the wrapped component instance. For example:

// Inside a component's render method
<Dropdown
  wrappedRef={instance => { this.toggle = instance.toggle; }}
/>

// Now you can call toggle externally
this.toggle();

Details

The enhanceWithClickOutside function wraps the provided component in another component that registers a click handler on document for the event capturing phase. Using the event capturing phase prevents elements with a click handler that calls stopPropagation from cancelling the click event that would eventually trigger the component's handleClickOutside function.

Why not a mixin?

There are some mixins that provide click outside detection functionality, but they prevent the component from implementing the componentDidMount and componentWillUnmount life cycle hooks. I recommend not using a mixin for this case.

Limitations

  • IE9+ due to the usage of the event capturing phase.

Not working on iOS?

If the handleClickOutside handler is not firing on iOS, try adding the cursor: pointer css style to the <body> element. There are many ways to achieve this, here is just one example:

if ('ontouchstart' in document.documentElement) {
  document.body.style.cursor = 'pointer';
}

If your app already has a way for mobile detection (e.g. Modernizr), you may want to use that instead.

See issue #4 for a discussion.
