mdOutClick is an AngularJS module, having a directive on-out-click and a service OutClickService; which enables you to capture click events outside of an element and fire handlers based on that.

Example- <button ng-click="doSomething()" on-out-click="doSomethingElse()"></button

Installation

• npm install md-out-click

• Webpack:

  1. Import the module in your index.js or entry.js file, import the module right after where you imported angular
  • import mdOutClick from 'mdOutClick' (ES6)
  • require('mdOutClick') (ES5)
  2. Where you define your angular app, include mdOutClick as dependency.

  angular.module('yourApp', [
     ...
     // other dependencies
     ...
     'mdOutClick'
  ]);

• Legacy Way:

  1. Include the md.out.click.min.js file as script tag in between angular source and your app specific script files.

    ...
    <script src="node_modules/angular/angular.min.js"></script>
    <script src="node_modules/md-out-click/dist/md.out.click.min.js"></script>
    <script src="app/app.index.js"></script>
    <script src="app/controllers/index.js"></script>
    ...
  </body>

  2. In your index.js or script.js file where you define your angular app, include mdOutClick as dependency.

  angular.module('yourApp', [
     ...
     // other dependencies
     ...
     'mdOutClick'
  ]);

Usage

Define a handler or action on on-out-click attribute of an element. The handler can be any valid Javascript expression.

<aside class="sidenav" ng-class="{'open': isSideNavOpen}" on-out-click="closeSideNav()"></aside>

Or, this is also do-able-

<aside class="sidenav" ng-class="{'open': isSideNavOpen}" on-out-click="isSideNavOpen = false"></aside>

Using the OutClickService, you can apply different handlers for different element at the same time-

// needs jquery support to get element like this
var elem1 = $document.find('#e1');
var elem2 = $document.find('#e2');

OutClickService.register(elem1, function () {
  // do something when click is outside elem1
});

OutClickService.register(elem2, function () {
  // do something when click is outside elem2
});
