pressed: false
sourceType: null

Tracking on

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

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.

vue

<script setup>
const el = ref(null)

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

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

Component Usage

This function also provides a renderless component version via the @vueuse/components package. Learn more about the usage.

vue

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