ClickAwayListener

ClickAwayListener

The API documentation of the ClickAwayListener React component.

Listen for click events that occur somewhere in the document, outside of the element itself. For instance, if you need to hide a menu when people click anywhere else on your page.

Inheritance

The properties of the EventListener component, from react-event-listener, are also available. You can take advantage of this behavior to target nested components.
