  children: React.Node,
  onOutsideClick: Function,
};

How to use

class Wrapper extends React.Component {
  onClick = () => this.setState({ isShownHidden: !this.state.isShownHidden });

  render() {
    const { isShownHidden } = this.state;
    return (
      <OutsideClickHandler onOutsideClick={this.onClick}>
        <span>Im your child!</span>
        {isShownHidden && <span>Im your hidden child!</span>}
      </OutsideClickHandler>
    );
  }
}
