I have this html code inside my Vue component
<div id="stats" class="" @click="clickOutside()">
<ArticleStats
:article="article"
class="tw-mt-5 tw-hidden md:tw-flex"
/>
<div
@click="$router.push('/article/' + article.content_content_id)"
class="
tw-mt-5 tw-block tw-text-center tw-text-sm
md:tw-text-base
tw-cursor-pointer
tw-text-white
tw-p-2
tw-rounded-2xl
tw-w-full
tw-bg-red-400
hover:tw-bg-red-600 hover:tw-text-white
"

</div>
</div>
And that method clickOutside() is this:
clickOutside() {
console.log('hola')
window.addEventListener("mouseup", (e) => {
console.log(e);
const clickedE1 = e.target;
if (this.$el.contains(clickedE1)) {
console.log("inside");
} else {
console.log("outside");
}
});
},
But when I click on that div the event is fired multiple times, this is the response in the console with a single click:
Anyone maybe know how to fix it or why this is happening?
What I finally did was create an event listener on the created hook, remove it on the destroyed hook, and add a method that detects the target, this way:
created() {
window.addEventListener("mouseup", this.onMouseUp);
},
destroyed() {
window.removeEventListener("mouseup", this.onMouseUp);
},
methods: {
onMouseUp(e) {
const clickedE1 = e.target;
if (this.$el.contains(clickedE1)) {
console.log("inside");
} else {
console.log("outside");
}
},
},
And that was all, it finally worked the way I wanted. Thank you for your responses.
