angular-click-outside
A simple angular 1.x directive to execute code when clicking outside of an element
Get it
npm install angular-click-outside --save
Use it
- Include script in your html
<script src="node_modules/angular-click-outside/angular-click-outside.js"></script>
- Add the
tw.directives.clickOutside
module to your module's list of dependencies:
angular.module('app', ['tw.directives.clickOutside'])
- Use the
twClickOutside
directive.
<div class="menu" tw-click-outside="hideMenu()">
...
</div>
Ignoring the event
If you don't want the twClickOutside
to fire under certain circumstances (e.g. you don't need to hide the menu if it's already hidden), use the ignoreIf
attribute:
<button ng-click="showMenu()">Show Menu</button>
<div class="menu" tw-click-outside="hideMenu()" ignore-if="menuAlreadyHidden()">
...
</div>
Use this to:
- avoid side effects of
hideMenu()
- avoid cost of
hideMenu()
if it is more expensive to run thanmenuAlreadyHidden()
