hey, I can take care, could you clarify/confirm criteria?

My suggestion:

1. add UI button (the same color as in clipboard + no icon)
2. click to the button will will replace all clipboard data to path to the displayed node as a string with format TODO)

Alternative: we can display path to the node in the node modal header with clipboard button there

What exactly is meant by path here?

[nils-jansen]

Example:

{ "one": { "two": { "three": 4 } } }

The path for "4" would be one.two.three.

Example:

{ "one": { "two": { "three": 4 } } }

The path for "4" would be one.two.three.

I faced the limitation for expected result:

• in the editor we have term "node" - it's represented as a independent block of data. In your example we don't have node 4 but we have node {three: 4}

so the expected result will be one.two instead of one.two.three

not sure if it's achievable at all since all editor designed for this type of data representation. @AykutSarac please confirm

btw workaround to achieve the result is: { "one": { "two": { "three": [4] } } } in this case 4 will be represented as a node and path to it will be one.two.three

p.s. current api cannot handle element position by it's index, so in example {"prop": [1, 2, {c: [3]}]} path for 3 is prop.c

I think we can wait for #251 to be merged first, it changes whole parsing algorithm.
