I'm trying to create a notifications area. I show a notification icon, and when the user clicks on it, I show the list of notifications.
Here's a codesandbox
The problem is that I can't mix it with ClickAwayListener.
When I use ClickAwayListener it's not shown at all.
How should I fix this?
HeaderAction.js
import Tooltip from "@material-ui/core/Tooltip";
import Fade from "@material-ui/core/Fade";
import Collapse from "@material-ui/core/Collapse";
import React, { useState } from "react";
import ClickAwayListener from "@material-ui/core/ClickAwayListener";
import Icon from "@material-ui/core/Icon";
const HeaderAction = ({ icon, title, component }) => {
const Component = component || (() => <div>NA</div>);
const [showComponent, setShowComponent] = useState(false);
const handleClick = () => {
setShowComponent(!showComponent);
};
return (
<>
<Tooltip title={title || ""}>
<div onClick={() => handleClick()}>
<Icon>{icon}</Icon>
</div>
</Tooltip>
{/* This part is not working */}
{/* <ClickAwayListener onClickAway={() => setShowComponent(false)}>
<div>
<Fade in={showComponent}>
<div>
<Component />
</div>
</Fade>
</div>
</ClickAwayListener> */}
<Fade in={showComponent}>
<div>
<Component />
</div>
</Fade>
</>
);
};
export { HeaderAction };
When you click the icon button, handleClick is called and the showComponent state is set to true, but then onClickAway from ClickAwayListener is also called and set the showComponent state to false again. The fix is simple, don't let the onClickAway handler execute by stopping the propagation after clicking the button:
<div
onClick={(e) => {
e.stopPropagation();
handleClick();
}}
