This function uses Event.composedPath() which is NOT supported by IE 11, Edge 18 and below. If you are targeting these browsers, we recommend you to include this code snippet on your project.

Component Usage

This function also provides a renderless component version via the @vueuse/components package. Learn more about the usage.

html
<OnClickOutside @trigger="count++" :options="{ ignore: [/* ... */] }">
  <div>
    Click Outside of Me
  </div>
</OnClickOutside>
<OnClickOutside @trigger="count++" :options="{ ignore: [/* ... */] }">
  <div>
    Click Outside of Me
  </div>
</OnClickOutside>

Directive Usage

This function also provides a directive version via the @vueuse/components package. Learn more about the usage.

function closeModal() {
  modal.value = false
}
