useMousePressed

Reactive mouse pressing state. Triggered by mousedown touchstart on target element and released by mouseup mouseleave touchend touchcancel on window.

Basic Usage

import { useMousePressed } from '@vueuse/core'

const { pressed } = useMousePressed()

Touching is enabled by default. To make it only detects mouse changes, set touch to false

import { useMousePressed } from '@vueuse/core'
// ---cut---
const { pressed } = useMousePressed({ touch: false })

To only capture mousedown and touchstart on specific element, you can specify target by passing a ref of the element.

<script setup lang="ts">
import { useMousePressed } from '@vueuse/core'
// ---cut---
import { useTemplateRef } from 'vue'

const el = useTemplateRef('el')

const { pressed } = useMousePressed({ target: el })
</script>

<template>
  <div ref="el">
    Only clicking on this element will trigger the update.
  </div>
</template>

Component Usage

<template>
  <UseMousePressed v-slot="{ pressed }">
    Is Pressed: {{ pressed }}
  </UseMousePressed>
</template>
