Dismiss keyboard on touch outside it

Ionic Framework ionic-v3
4

First of all, this should be the default behavior. In my case, whenever I click outside of input or click submit button, keyboard closes itself. I had problems in beta 11 but no problems in RC0.

Secondly, sometimes when I programmatically want to close keyboard, I don’t use Keyboard.close() as it sometimes work and sometimes doesn’t at least for me.

I call following function to close keyboard. Just copy/paste following function in your code and call whenever you want to close keyboard.

  focusOut() {
    let activeElement = <HTMLElement>document.activeElement;
    activeElement && activeElement.blur && activeElement.blur();
  }

P.S. I copied above function directly from ionic source code https://github.com/driftyco/ionic/blob/master/src/util/form.ts#L27 :stuck_out_tongue:
