Questions or comments

I would like this to be in a seperate template, so it can get used more easily (without duplicating essentially) across the backend. What do you think?

[Flyingmana]

can we do this over a special html attribute and css class combination, so the button is injected dynamically via js?

(just an idea, not a requirement from my side)

+1 on @Flyingmana 's idea. Instead of svg, may be use the copy cursor on hover:

The Icon used is already good, what I see nowdays it already evolves to a standard recognizable copy icon.

[hirale]

To add a copy icon to an element, follow these steps:

Add the data-copy-text attribute, which holds the text content to be copied.

For example:

<h4 class="icon-head head-account" data-copy-text="<?php echo $_order->getRealOrderId() ?>"><?php echo Mage::helper('sales')->__('Order # %s', $this->escapeHtml($_order->getRealOrderId())) ?> (<?php echo $_email ?>)</h4>

I really like the idea of this PR, what about having the SVG in a CSS and then just inject a div/span placeholder that gets styled by the css?

[hirale]

I think it is more convenient to use the special attributes of html tag.

[fballiano]

ok i mean, instead of injecting the whole svg you're injecting the placeholder that gets stylized by the css, the data-attribute stay the same

[hirale]

@fballiano do you mean this?

js/varien/js.js

/**
 * Adds copy icons to elements with the class 'copy-text'.

function addCopyIcons() {
    const copyTexts = document.querySelectorAll('.copy-text');
    copyTexts.forEach(copyText => {
        const iconStyle = JSON.parse(copyText.getAttribute('data-copy-icon'));
        const svg = createSVGElement(iconStyle);
        copyText.parentNode.appendChild(svg);
    });
}

function createSVGElement(iconStyles) {

    copyIcon.style.cursor = iconStyles.cursor || 'pointer';
    copyIcon.style.height = iconStyles.height;
    copyIcon.style.width = iconStyles.width;
        copyIcon.style.margin = iconStyles.margin || '0';

    return copyIcon;
}
/**

 */
function copyText(event) {
    let copyText = event.currentTarget.previousElementSibling.getAttribute('data-text');
    navigator.clipboard.writeText(copyText);
}

phtml example

<h4 class="icon-head head-account copy-text" data-text="<?= $_order->getRealOrderId() ?>" data-copy-icon='{"cursor":"pointer","margin":"8px 0 0 5px","height":"16px","width":"16px"}'><?php echo Mage::helper('sales')->__('Order # %s', $this->escapeHtml($_order->getRealOrderId())) ?> (<?php echo $_email ?>)</h4>

.icon-copy {
  display: inline-block;
  background-image: url('images/icon-copy.svg');
  background-repeat: no-repeat;

}

yep and the svg could also be inlined in the css (I kinda go for this route lately)

So you love it when a base64 svg stares you in the face :D

[fballiano]

svg sprites are hard(er than old-style sprites) and if we start having many svg that will be a problem, if the svg is inlined in the css that's more or less solved

which browser?

[fballiano]

chrome

[hirale]

on chrome Version 124.0.6367.61 and firefox 125.0.2 (64-bit), works fine

[hirale]

chrome

maybe here is the reason. Should I add some checks before writeText function?

nice idea! and then after a couple of seconds it could revert back to the original class

i've update my code in the original comment to disapper after 1s

[fballiano]

In some resolutions it looks like this:

[fballiano]

@empiricompany I've committed your code to switch the icon

[hirale]

I've added the data-copy-text attribute to the target element and styled it using a CSS class, as we discussed earlier.

[fballiano]

latest version is fine to me :-)

[fballiano]

@empiricompany I'd like to get your opinion on this last version :-)
