Listen for click events that are triggered outside of the component children.

## Props

|:-----|:-----|:--------|:------------|

Any other properties supplied will be spread to the root element ([EventListener](https://github.com/oliviertassinari/react-event-listener)).

## Inheritance

The properties of the [EventListener](https://github.com/oliviertassinari/react-event-listener) component, from react-event-listener, are also available.
You can take advantage of this behavior to [target nested components](/guides/api#spread).
