Example
For instance, if you need to hide a menu dropdown when people click anywhere else on your page:
<ClickAwayListener onClickAway={handleClickAway}>
<div className={classes.wrapper}>
<button type="button" onClick={handleClick}>
Open menu dropdown
</button>
{open ? <div className={classes.paper}>Click me, I will stay visible.</div> : null}
</div>
</ClickAwayListener>
Notice that the component only accepts one child element. You can find a more advanced demo on the Menu documentation section.
