React Modal Not Closing on Overlay Click When Using useRef for Focus Management
I'm having trouble with I'm currently implementing a modal in my React application using React 17 and React Modal v3.14.3... The modal works as expected, but I need to seem to get it to close when clicking outside the modal (on the overlay). I've tried using a click event on the overlay div to set the modal's open state to false. However, I'm also using a `ref` with `useRef` to manage focus for accessibility, and it seems like the overlay click isn't being detected properly or is conflicting with the focus management. Here's the relevant code snippet: ```javascript import React, { useState, useRef, useEffect } from 'react'; import Modal from 'react-modal'; const MyComponent = () => { const [isOpen, setIsOpen] = useState(false); const modalRef = useRef(); const openModal = () => setIsOpen(true); const closeModal = () => setIsOpen(false); const handleOverlayClick = (e) => { if (modalRef.current && !modalRef.current.contains(e.target)) { closeModal(); } }; useEffect(() => { document.addEventListener('click', handleOverlayClick); return () => { document.removeEventListener('click', handleOverlayClick); }; }, []); return ( <div> <button onClick={openModal}>Open Modal</button> <Modal isOpen={isOpen} ref={modalRef} onRequestClose={closeModal}> <h2>My Modal</h2> <button onClick={closeModal}>Close</button> </Modal> </div> ); }; ``` I suspect that the `ref` might not be set correctly or that the event listener is not capturing the clicks as expected. I'm getting no errors in the console, but the modal just doesn't close when I click outside of it. I've validated that the `modalRef.current` is indeed pointing to the modal, and I can see it in the React DevTools. Is there a known scenario with `react-modal` or with using `useRef` this way? Any suggestions on how to properly handle this would be greatly appreciated. For context: I'm using Javascript on Ubuntu 20.04. Any suggestions would be helpful.
