A react component that brings other components into visual focus/highlight by placing an overlay over all other elements on the page. Requires React 16 or higher

Example: https://react-focus-component.now.sh/

import { FocusOverlay } from 'react-focus-component';

class BasicExample extends React.Component {
    constructor(props) {
        super(props);
        this.component = React.createRef();
    }

    render() {
        return (
            <div>
                <div ref={this.component}>
                    This element will be highlighted because the "ref" is passed to the FocusOverlay as the focusComponent prop.
                </div>

                <FocusOverlay focusComponent={this.component.current} onExit={() => alert('runs when the user clicks in the overlay')} />
            </div>
        );
    }
}

• focusComponent - A DOM element instance or an array of DOM elements to calculate the outer boundries of the focus point. This can also be a custom set of coordinates ({ height, width, x, y }), but note that these coordinates are reletive to the scroll position and will not automatically update on page scroll. This should be managed outside of the component.
• onExit - called when the user clicks on the overlay.
• target - Determines where the children (if any) will be rendered. Possible values: topleft, top, topright, left, right, bottomleft, bottom (DEFAULT), bottomright.
