Bind React Event Globally

Provides a declarative way to bind event globally for a component.

• It won't try event binding on server rendering so don't worry about that.
• It manage event handlers automatically - binding on mount, unbinding on unmount, rebinding on update
• All events can be supported, as there's a way to extend the supported event list
• No dependency. (But of course you should have react...)
• Test covered, which may make you more confident to use it :)

Install

npm install react-document-event --save

Usage

import DocumentEvent from 'react-document-event';

React.render(
    <DocumentEvent onClick={() => alert('document clicked!')}>
        <SomeComponent/>
    </DocumentEvent>
)

Supported Events

Like onClick, onMouseUp, onKeyDown.

Just check supportedEvents variable in the head of the code.

If those doesn't list the event that you need, there's still a way provided to extend them as you wish:

import {extendSupportedEvents} from 'react-document-event';

// imagine browser supports 'tripleclick' event while React maps it to 'onTripleClick'
extendSupportedEvents({
    onTripleClick: 'tripleclick'
})
