Clipboard.js documentation

How to use?

Copy-paste the following <script> near the end of your pages under JS Implementing Plugins to enable it.

              
                <script src="./node_modules/clipboard/dist/clipboard.min.js"></script>
              
            

Copy-paste the following <script> near the end of your pages under JS Front to enable it.

              
                <script src="./assets/js/hs.clipboard.js"></script>
              
            

Copy-paste the init function under JS Plugins Init., before the closing </body> tag, to enable it.

              
                <script>
                  $(document).on('ready', function () {
                    // INITIALIZATION OF CLIPBOARD
                    // =======================================================
                    $('.js-clipboard').each(function() {
                      var clipboard = $.HSCore.components.HSClipboard.init(this);
                    });
                  });
                </script>

JavaScript behavior

Extend

By assigning a variable, you can call the standard methods of the plugin:

              
                <script>
                  $(document).on('ready', function () {
                    // INITIALIZATION OF CLIPBOARD
                    // =======================================================
                    $('.js-clipboard').each(function() {
                      var clipboard = $.HSCore.components.HSClipboard.init(this);

                      clipboard.on('success', function() {
                       console.log('Copied!!!');
                      });
                    });
                  });
                </script>
              
            

Attributes

By assigning a variable, you can call the standard methods of the plugin:

              
                data-hs-clipboard-options='{
                 ...

                 // Custom
                 "type": null,
                 "contentTarget": "tooltip",
                 "classChangeTarget": "#ID",
                 "defaultClass": "test1 test2",
                 "successText": "Copied!",
                 "successClass": "test1 test2"
              }' - array
              
            

Methods

Options can be passed via data attributes or JavaScript. For data attributes, append the option name to data-hs-clipboard-options='{}'. For more detailed or missing attributes/functions, see the official Clipboard.js documentation page.
