Using Tailwind/Flowbite: How to close a dorpdown when clicking outside?

I'm trying to figure out how to close Tailwind/Flowbite dropdown when clicking outside! although its working on here and clicking outside seems to be ok but not in the Test Sample code below.

I'm new to Tailwind so my tries were vary by JS only but couldn't find a proper solution. I'm trying to find a solution within the scope of Tailwind/Flowbite if it is possible. if not then JS might do. (No JQ)

any help please?

Solution

Ensure the <body> element covers the entire snippet preview area. In your snippet, the dropdown will close if you click anywhere inside the <body>:

So we can ensure this <body> extends to fill the viewport by applying min-height: 100vh via the min-h-screen Tailwind class:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en" dir="ltr">

  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">

  <link href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/flowbite/2.2.1/flowbite.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
</head>

<body class="min-h-screen">

<button id="dropdownDefaultButton" data-dropdown-toggle="dropdown" class="text-white bg-blue-700 hover:bg-blue-800 focus:ring-4 focus:outline-none focus:ring-blue-300 font-medium rounded-lg text-sm px-5 py-2.5 text-center inline-flex items-center dark:bg-blue-600 dark:hover:bg-blue-700 dark:focus:ring-blue-800" type="button">Dropdown button <svg class="w-2.5 h-2.5 ms-3" aria-hidden="true" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" fill="none" viewBox="0 0 10 6">

</svg>
</button>

<!-- Dropdown menu -->
<div id="dropdown" class="z-10 hidden bg-white divide-y divide-gray-100 rounded-lg shadow w-44 dark:bg-gray-700">

</div>

</body>
