# useFocus
Reactive utility to track or set the focus state of a DOM element. State changes to reflect whether the target element is the focused element. Setting reactive value from the outside will trigger `focus` and `blur` events for `true` and `false` values respectively.
## Basic Usage
```ts
import { useFocus } from '@vueuse/core'
const target = shallowRef()
const { focused } = useFocus(target)
watch(focused, (focused) => {
if (focused)
console.log('input element has been focused')
else console.log('input element has lost focus')
})
```
## Setting initial focus
To focus the element on its first render one can provide the `initialValue` option as `true`. This will trigger a `focus` event on the target element.
```ts
import { useFocus } from '@vueuse/core'
const target = shallowRef()
const { focused } = useFocus(target, { initialValue: true })
```
## Change focus state
Changes of the `focused` reactive ref will automatically trigger `focus` and `blur` events for `true` and `false` values respectively. You can utilize this behavior to focus the target element as a result of another action (e.g. when a button click as shown below).
```vue
<script setup lang="ts">
import { useFocus } from '@vueuse/core'
import { shallowRef } from 'vue'
const input = shallowRef()
const { focused } = useFocus(input)
</script>
<template>
<div>
<button type="button" @click="focused = true">
Click me to focus input below
</button>
<input ref="input" type="text">
</div>
</template>
```
## Type Declarations
```ts
export interface UseFocusOptions extends ConfigurableWindow {
/**
* Initial value. If set true, then focus will be set on the target
*
* @default false
*/
initialValue?: boolean
/**
* Replicate the :focus-visible behavior of CSS
*
* @default false
*/
focusVisible?: boolean
/**
* Prevent scrolling to the element when it is focused.
*
* @default false
*/
preventScroll?: boolean
}
export interface UseFocusReturn {
/**
* If read as true, then the element has focus. If read as false, then the element does not have focus
* If set to true, then the element will be focused. If set to false, the element will be blurred.
*/
focused: WritableComputedRef<boolean>
}
/**
* Track or set the focus state of a DOM element.
*
* @see https://vueuse.org/useFocus
* @param target The target element for the focus and blur events.
* @param options
*/
export declare function useFocus(
target: MaybeElementRef,
options?: UseFocusOptions,
): UseFocusReturn
```
