clipboard.js

A modern approach to copy & cut to the clipboard. No Flash. No dependencies. Just 1kb.

Install

You can get it using bower:

bower install clipboard --save

Or download as ZIP.

Usage

First, you need to instantiate it using a selector. This selector corresponds to the trigger element (usually a <button>).

new Clipboard('.btn');

The easiest way to copy some content to the clipboard, is to include a value attribute in your trigger element.

<button class="btn" value="lorem ipsum">Copy</button>

Another way of doing it is to copy the content from an <input> or <textarea>. You can do that by adding a for attribute in your trigger element. The value you include in this for attribute needs to match another's element id attribute.

<input id="target" value="Lorem ipsum">
<button class="btn" for="target">Copy</button>
