How to detect a click event on a cross domain iframe (iframe.tracker)
<div>
<iframe appIframeTracker (iframeClick)="onIframeClick()" src="http://www.google.com"></iframe>
</div>
import {
Directive,
ElementRef,
OnInit,
Renderer2,
Input,
Output,
EventEmitter,
HostListener
} from '@angular/core';
@Directive({
selector: '[appIframeTracker]'
})
export class IframeTrackerDirective implements OnInit {
private iframeMouseOver: boolean;
@Input() debug: boolean;
@Output() iframeClick = new EventEmitter<ElementRef>();
constructor(private el: ElementRef, private renderer: Renderer2) {}
ngOnInit(): void {
this.renderer.listen(window, 'blur', () => this.onWindowBlur());
}
@HostListener('mouseover')
private onIframeMouseOver() {
this.log('Iframe mouse over');
this.iframeMouseOver = true;
this.resetFocusOnWindow();
}
@HostListener('mouseout')
private onIframeMouseOut() {
this.log('Iframe mouse out');
this.iframeMouseOver = false;
this.resetFocusOnWindow();
}
private onWindowBlur() {
if (this.iframeMouseOver) {
this.log('WOW! Iframe click!!!');
this.resetFocusOnWindow();
this.iframeClick.emit(this.el);
}
}
private resetFocusOnWindow() {
setTimeout(() => {
this.log('reset focus to window');
window.focus();
}, 100);
}
private log(message: string) {
if (this.debug) {
console.log(message);
}
}
}

Thanks for the swift reply.
I understand that i cannot intercept the interaction inside the iframe. That's also not what i need. All i need to know is that there is any interaction. Just like your script does. But i would also need it for touch devices and not only desktop. But nevermind. Maybe that is not the way to go for me.
