Double Click and Click on ReactJS Component
I know this is an old question and i only shoot into the dark (did not test the code but i am sure enough it should work) but maybe this is of help to someone.
render() {
let clicks = [];
let timeout;
function singleClick(event) {
alert("single click");
}
function doubleClick(event) {
alert("doubleClick");
}
function clickHandler(event) {
event.preventDefault();
clicks.push(new Date().getTime());
window.clearTimeout(timeout);
timeout = window.setTimeout(() => {
if (clicks.length > 1 && clicks[clicks.length - 1] - clicks[clicks.length - 2] < 250) {
doubleClick(event.target);
} else {
singleClick(event.target);
}
}, 250);
}
return (
<a onClick={clickHandler}>
click me
</a>
);
}
I am going to test this soon and in case update or delete this answer.
The downside is without a doubt, that we have a defined "double-click speed" of 250ms, which the user needs to accomplish, so it is not a pretty solution and may prevent some persons from being able to use the double click.
Of course the single click does only work with a delay of 250ms but its not possible to do it otherwise, you have to wait for the doubleClick somehow...
Here is the fastest and shortest answer:
CLASS-BASED COMPONENT
class DoubleClick extends React.Component {
timer = null
onClickHandler = event => {
clearTimeout(this.timer);
if (event.detail === 1) {
this.timer = setTimeout(this.props.onClick, 200)
} else if (event.detail === 2) {
this.props.onDoubleClick()
}
}
render() {
return (
<div onClick={this.onClickHandler}>
{this.props.children}
</div>
)
}
}
FUNCTIONAL COMPONENT
const DoubleClick = ({ onClick = () => { }, onDoubleClick = () => { }, children }) => {
const timer = useRef()
const onClickHandler = event => {
clearTimeout(timer.current);
if (event.detail === 1) {
timer.current = setTimeout(onClick, 200)
} else if (event.detail === 2) {
onDoubleClick()
}
}
return (
<div onClick={onClickHandler}>
{children}
</div>
)
}
DEMO
var timer;
function onClick(event) {
clearTimeout(timer);
if (event.detail === 1) {
timer = setTimeout(() => {
console.log("SINGLE CLICK");
}, 200)
} else if (event.detail === 2) {
console.log("DOUBLE CLICK");
}
}
document.querySelector(".demo").onclick = onClick;
.demo {
padding: 20px 40px;
background-color: #eee;
user-select: none;
}
<div class="demo">
Click OR Double Click Here
</div>
All of the answers here are overcomplicated, you just need to use e.detail
:
<button onClick={e => {
if (e.detail === 1) handleClick();
if (e.detail === 2) handleDoubleClick();
}}>
Click me
</button>
