Now, you need to instantiate it using a DOM selector. This selector corresponds to the trigger element(s), for example `<button class="btn">`.
```js
new Clipboard('.btn');
```
Internally, we need to fetch all elements that matches with your selector and attach event listeners for each one. But guess what? If you have hundreds of matches, this operation can consume a lot of memory.
For this reason we use [event delegation](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1687296/what-is-dom-event-delegation) which replaces multiple event listeners with just a single listener. After all, [#perfmatters](https://twitter.com/hashtag/perfmatters).
# Usage
We're living a _declarative renaissance_, that's why we decided to take advantage of [HTML5 data attributes](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/HTML/Using_data_attributes) for better usability.
### Copy text from attribute
The easiest way to copy some content to the clipboard, is to include a `data-text` attribute in your trigger element.
<a href="http://zenorocha.github.io/clipboard.js/#example-1"><img width="147" alt="example-1" src="https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/398893/10000347/6e16cf8c-6050-11e5-9883-1c5681f9ec45.png"></a>
```html
<!-- Trigger -->
<button class="btn" data-text="Just because you can doesn't mean you should — clipboard.js">
Copy to clipboard
</button>
```
### Copy text from another element
Alternatively, you can copy content from another element by adding a `data-target` attribute in your trigger element.
A pretty common use case is to copy content from another element. You can do that by adding a `data-target` attribute in your trigger element.
The value you include on this attribute needs to match another's element `id` attribute.

As you may expect, the `cut` action only works on `<input>` or `<textarea>` elements.
### Copy text from attribute
Truth is, you don't even need another element to copy its content from. You can just include a `data-text` attribute in your trigger element.
<a href="http://zenorocha.github.io/clipboard.js/#demo-text"><img width="147" alt="example-1" src="https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/398893/10000347/6e16cf8c-6050-11e5-9883-1c5681f9ec45.png"></a>

</button>
```
## Events
There are cases where you'd like to capture what has been copied/cut or even check if there was an error.
There are cases where you'd like to show some user feedback or capture what has been selected after a copy/cut operation.
That's why we fire custom events such as `success` and `error` for you to listen and implement your custom logic.
But to achieve that, first you need to access the `triggers` property from your clipboard instance.
```js
var clipboard = new Clipboard('.btn');
var btns = clipboard.triggers;
clipboard.on('success', function(e) {
console.info('Action:', e.action);
console.info('Text:', e.text);
console.info('Trigger:', e.trigger);
e.clearSelection();
});
clipboard.on('error', function(e) {
console.error('Action:', e.action);
console.error('Trigger:', e.trigger);
});
```
Internally, this property is just a collections of nodes resulted from a `querySelectorAll` operation. So all you have to do now is loop through that collection and attach listeners.
```js
for (var i = 0; i < btns.length; i++) {
btns[i].addEventListener('success', function(e) {
console.info('Action:', e.detail.action);
console.info('Text:', e.detail.text);
});
btns[i].addEventListener('error', function(e) {
alert(e.detail);
});
}
```

## Browser Support
This library relies on both [Selection](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Selection) and [execCommand](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Document/execCommand) APIs. When combined, they're supported in the following browsers.

Although copy/cut operations with [execCommand](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Document/execCommand) aren't supported on Safari yet (including mobile), it gracefully degrades because [Selection](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Selection) is supported.
That means you can show a tooltip saying `Copied!` when `success` event is called and `Press Ctrl+C to copy` when `error` event is called because the text is already selected.
