Options

Property name	Type	Default	Description
attachOutsideOnClick	boolean	false	By default, the outside click event handler is automatically attached. Explicitely setting this to true sets the handler after the element is clicked. The outside click event handler will then be removed after a click outside has occurred. (Import: NgClickOutsideAttachOutsideDirective)
clickOutsideEnabled	boolean	true	Enables directive.
clickOutsideEvents	string	'click'	A comma-separated list of events to cause the trigger. For example, for additional mobile support: [clickOutsideEvents]="'click,touchstart'".
delayClickOutsideInit	boolean	false	Delays the initialization of the click outside handler. This may help for items that are conditionally shown (see issue #13). (Import NgClickOutsideDelayOutsideDirective)
clickOutsideEmitOnBlur	-	-	If enabled, emits an blurWindow event when user clicks outside of applications' window while it's visible. Especially useful if page contains iframes. (Import NgClickOutsideEmitOnBlurDirective)
clickOutsideExclude	string		A comma-separated string of DOM element queries to exclude when clicking outside of the element. (Import NgClickOutsideExcludeDirective) For example: [clickOutsideExclude]="'button,.btn-primary'".

import {NgClickOutsideDirective} from 'ng-click-outside2';
