react-copy-to-clipboard

Copy to clipboard React component

Based on copy-to-clipboard

Would try to use execCommand with fallback to IE specific clipboardData interface and finally, fallback to simple prompt with proper text content & 'Copy to clipboard: Ctrl+C, Enter'

Installation

Yarn

yarn add react-copy-to-clipboard

NPM

npm install --save react-copy-to-clipboard

Don't forget to manually install peer dependencies (react) if you use npm@3.

options: PropTypes.shape({debug: bool, message: string, format: string})

Optional copy-to-clipboard options.

See API docs for details

children: PropTypes.element.isRequired

CopyToClipboard is a simple wrapping component, it does not render any tags, so it requires the only child element to be present, which will be used to capture clicks.

<CopyToClipboard text="Hello!">
  <button>Copy to clipboard</button>
</CopyToClipboard>
