React Typescript Click Inside and Outside InputComponent

 To create a React TypeScript component that allows you to detect clicks both inside and outside of an input component (e.g., a text input), you can use event listeners and state management. Here's an example of how to achieve this:


```tsx

import React, { useState, useEffect, useRef } from 'react';


const InputComponent: React.FC = () => {

  const [isInputFocused, setInputFocused] = useState(false);

  const inputRef = useRef<HTMLInputElement>(null);


  useEffect(() => {

    const handleClick = (e: MouseEvent) => {

      if (inputRef.current && inputRef.current.contains(e.target as Node)) {

        // Click was inside the input component

        setInputFocused(true);

      } else {

        // Click was outside the input component

        setInputFocused(false);

      }

    };


    // Attach the click event listener when the component mounts

    document.addEventListener('click', handleClick);


    // Clean up the event listener when the component unmounts

    return () => {

      document.removeEventListener('click', handleClick);

    };

  }, []);


  return (

    <div>

      <input

        ref={inputRef}

        type="text"

        onFocus={() => setInputFocused(true)}

        onBlur={() => setInputFocused(false)}

      />

      {isInputFocused ? (

        <div>Click is inside the input component.</div>

      ) : (

        <div>Click is outside the input component.</div>

      )}

    </div>

  );

};


export default InputComponent;

```


In this example:


1. We use `useState` to manage the state of whether the input component is focused (`isInputFocused`).


2. We create a `useEffect` hook to add a click event listener to the `document` when the component mounts. The event listener checks if the click event's target is inside the input component (using `contains`) and sets `isInputFocused` accordingly.


3. We attach `onFocus` and `onBlur` handlers to the input element to set the `isInputFocused` state when the input gains or loses focus.


4. In the component's render method, we display a message based on the `isInputFocused` state.


This component will inform you whether a click event occurred inside or outside the input component by updating the `isInputFocused` state.
