Alpine Clipboard
Copy text to the user's clipboard.
Since v2.0, this package only supports Alpine v3.x. If you're still using Alpine 2.x, please use v1.0 of this package.
About
This plugin adds a new $clipboard magic property to all of your Alpine components that can be used to copy any piece of data to the user's clipboard.
Installation
CDN
Include the following <script> tag in the <head> of your document, just before Alpine.
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@ryangjchandler/[email protected]/dist/alpine-clipboard.js" defer></script>
NPM
npm install @ryangjchandler/alpine-clipboard
Add the $clipboard magic property to your project by importing the package before Alpine.js.
import Alpine from 'alpinejs'
import Clipboard from "@ryangjchandler/alpine-clipboard"
Alpine.plugin(Clipboard)
window.Alpine = Alpine
window.Alpine.start()
Usage
Note The Clipboard API that this package uses only works in a secure context (
https) andlocalhost.
To copy some data to the clipboard, invoke $clipboard from an event handler in your component.
<div x-data="{ input: '' }">
<input x-model="input">
<button type="button" @click="$clipboard(input)">
Copy to Clipboard
</button>
</div>
Directive
This package also includes an x-clipboard directive that can be added to any element (usually a button) and it will copy the result of the expression on click.
<div x-data="{ input: 'Foo!' }">
<button x-clipboard="input">
Copy to Clipboard
</button>
</div>
If you are rendering on the server, you might prefer to copy raw content instead of evaluating the expression as JavaScript. This can be done by adding the .raw modifier to the directive.
Here's a Blade snippet as an example:
<button x-clipboard.raw="{{ $post->url() }}">
Copy to Clipboard
</button>
Object and Array
Since you can pass any properties through to the $clipboard function, if you pass through an Object or Array, it will be run through JSON.stringify before being copied to the clipboard.
<div x-data="{ items: ['foo', 'bar'] }">
<button type="button" @click="$clipboard(items)">Copy to Clipboard</button>
</div>
The clipboard will now contain ["foo","bar"].
Hooks
If you are using the npm installation method for this package or the ESM distribution, you can use the Clipboard.configure() method to attach an onCopy hook to the clipboard.
import Clipboard from '@ryangjchandler/alpine-clipboard'
Alpine.plugin(Clipboard.configure({
onCopy: () => {
console.log('Copied!')
}
}))
