vue3-clipboard

A simple vuejs 3 binding for clipboard.js, based on Inndy/vue-clipboard2

Install

npm install --save vue3-clipboard or use dist/vue3-clipboard.min.js without npm

Usage

For vue-cli user:

import { createApp } from 'vue'
import VueClipboard from 'vue3-clipboard'

const app = createApp({})

I want to copy texts without a specific button!

Yes, you can do it by using our new method: this.$copyText, where we replace the clipboard directives with a v-on directive.

Modern browsers have some limitations like that you can't use window.open without a user interaction. So there's the same restriction on copying things! Test it before you use it. Make sure you are not using this method inside any async method.

Before using this feature, read: this issue and this page first.

It doesn't work with bootstrap modals

See clipboardjs document and this pull request, container option is available like this:

In Options API:

const container = this.$refs.container
this.$copyText((text: 'Text to copy'), container)

In Composition API:

import { copyText } from 'vue3-clipboard'
import { ref } from 'vue'

const container = ref(null)
copyText('Text to copy', container.value)

Or you can let vue3-clipboard set container to current element by doing this:

import { createApp } from 'vue'
import VueClipboard from 'vue3-clipboard'

const app = createApp({})

app.use(VueClipboard, {
  autoSetContainer: true,
  appendToBody: true,
})

Sample

<template>
  <div class="container">
    <button type="button" v-clipboard:copy="message" v-clipboard:success="onCopy" v-clipboard:error="onError">
      Copy!
    </button>
  </div>
</template>

<script>
  export default {
    setup() {
      const message = 'Hello Clipboard!'
      const onCopy = (e) => {
        alert('You just copied: ' + e.text)
      }
      const onError = (e) => {
        alert('Failed to copy texts')
      }

      return { message, onCopy, onError }
    },
  }
</script>

Sample 2

<template>
  <div class="container">
    <button type="button" @click="doCopy">Copy!</button>
  </div>
</template>

<script>
  import { copyText } from 'vue3-clipboard'

  export default {
    setup() {
      const doCopy = () => {
        copyText('Hello Clipboard', undefined, (error, event) => {
          if (error) {
            alert('Can not copy')
            console.log(error)
          } else {
            alert('Copied')
            console.log(event)
          }
        })
      }

      return { doCopy }
    },
  }
</script>
