Closing a Popup in a Map by Clicking Outside: A Step-by-Step Guide

In today’s digital landscape, interactive maps are crucial for applications ranging from navigation systems to location-based services. A common feature in such applications is the display of popups when users interact with points on the map. However, there may be instances where you want to give users the ability to close these popups by clicking outside of the map area.

In this guide, we will break down how to achieve this functionality using React, specifically looking at a user case where a dynamically created popup with a specific ID needs to be concealed when clicking outside the map.

Understanding the Problem

When interacting with a map, the popup may open up on clicking various points. However, unlike standard HTML elements where you can set references (refs) to detect clicks, dynamic popups may not be directly accessible in the same way.

Problem Statement

You want to:

Open a popup when clicking on the map.

Close the popup when clicking anywhere in the viewport, except for the map itself.

In our example, the popup is identified by the ID MapPopupId. Let’s explore how we can implement this functionality effectively.

Solution Overview

To solve this problem, we will enhance our existing click detection mechanism to also hide the dynamically generated popup when a click occurs outside the map area. We will modify our custom hook and the event handler accordingly.

Step 1: Update the handleClickOutside Function

The initial implementation uses a reference to control the visibility of the map. Here’s how we can refine it to manage our popup:

In this code snippet:

We first confirm that we clicked outside of the map by checking the reference.

If the click is indeed outside, we look for the popup using its ID.

Lastly, if the popup exists, we set its display style to none, effectively hiding it.

Step 2: Complete Example

Here’s how your complete component can look after implementing the above changes:

Conclusion

Implementing functionality to close a popup outside of a map in React might seem daunting, especially when dealing with dynamically generated elements. However, by enhancing our click detection logic, we can seamlessly create a better user experience.

Feel free to adopt this approach in your own applications as you work with interactive maps. Give it a try and make your maps not just smarter, but friendlier to use!
