angular-click-outside-2

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 than menuAlreadyHidden()
