# useOutsideClick Detects clicks and touches outside a referenced element and calls a callback. ## Signature ```ts function useOutsideClick(callback: () => void): React.RefObject; ``` | Parameter | Type | Description | | ---------- | ------------ | ------------------------------------------------ | | `callback` | `() => void` | Called when a click/touch occurs outside the ref | Returns a `ref` to attach to the element you want to monitor. ## Usage ```tsx function Dropdown({ onClose }: { onClose: () => void }) { const ref = useOutsideClick(onClose); return (

Dropdown content

); } ``` ## Notes - Listens to both `mouseup` and `touchend` to cover desktop and mobile. - If `callback` changes on every render, wrap it in `useCallback` to avoid resetting listeners unnecessarily. - Client-only (`'use client'`).
