Copy Button
sl-copy-button
Copies text data to the clipboard when the user clicks the trigger.
Examples
Basic Copy Button
<sl-copy-button value="Shoelace rocks!"></sl-copy-button>
Custom Labels
Copy Buttons display feedback in a tooltip. You can customize the labels using the copy-label
,
success-label
, and error-label
attributes.
<sl-copy-button value="Custom labels are easy" copy-label="Click to copy" success-label="You did it!" error-label="Whoops, your browser doesn't support this!" ></sl-copy-button>
Custom Icons
Use the copy-icon
, success-icon
, and error-icon
slots to customize
the icons that get displayed for each state. You can use
<sl-icon>
or your own images.
<sl-copy-button value="Copied from a custom button"> <sl-icon slot="copy-icon" name="clipboard"></sl-icon> <sl-icon slot="success-icon" name="clipboard-check"></sl-icon> <sl-icon slot="error-icon" name="clipboard-x"></sl-icon> </sl-copy-button>
Copying Values From Other Elements
Normally, the data that gets copied will come from the component’s value
attribute, but you can
copy data from any element within the same document by providing its id
to the
from
attribute.
When using the from
attribute, the element’s
textContent
will be copied by default. Passing an attribute or property modifier will let you copy data from one of the
element’s attributes or properties instead.
To copy data from an attribute, use from="id[attr]"
where id
is the id of the
target element and attr
is the name of the attribute you’d like to copy. To copy data from a
property, use from="id.prop"
where id
is the id of the target element and
prop
is the name of the property you’d like to copy.
<!-- Copies the span's textContent --> <span id="my-phone">+1 (234) 456-7890</span> <sl-copy-button from="my-phone"></sl-copy-button> <br><br> <!-- Copies the input's "value" property --> <sl-input id="my-input" type="text" value="User input" style="display: inline-block; max-width: 300px;"></sl-input> <sl-copy-button from="my-input.value"></sl-copy-button> <br><br> <!-- Copies the link's "href" attribute --> <a id="my-link" href="https://shoelace.style/">Shoelace Website</a> <sl-copy-button from="my-link[href]"></sl-copy-button>
Handling Errors
A copy error will occur if the value is an empty string, if the from
attribute points to an id
that doesn’t exist, or if the browser rejects the operation for any reason. When this happens, the
sl-error
event will be emitted.
This example demonstrates what happens when a copy error occurs. You can customize the error label and icon
using the error-label
attribute and the error-icon
slot, respectively.
<sl-copy-button from="i-do-not-exist"></sl-copy-button>
Disabled
Copy buttons can be disabled by adding the disabled
attribute.
<sl-copy-button value="You can't copy me" disabled></sl-copy-button>
Changing Feedback Duration
A success indicator is briefly shown after copying. You can customize the length of time the indicator is
shown using the feedback-duration
attribute.
<sl-copy-button value="Shoelace rocks!" feedback-duration="250"></sl-copy-button>
Custom Styles
You can customize the button to your liking with CSS.
<sl-copy-button value="I'm so stylish" class="custom-styles"> <sl-icon slot="copy-icon" name="asterisk"></sl-icon> <sl-icon slot="success-icon" name="check-lg"></sl-icon> <sl-icon slot="error-icon" name="x-lg"></sl-icon> </sl-copy-button> <style> .custom-styles { --success-color: white; --error-color: white; color: white; } .custom-styles::part(button) { background-color: #ff1493; border: solid 4px #ff7ac1; border-right-color: #ad005c; border-bottom-color: #ad005c; border-radius: 0; transition: 100ms scale ease-in-out, 100ms translate ease-in-out; } .custom-styles::part(button):hover { scale: 1.1; } .custom-styles::part(button):active { translate: 0 2px; } .custom-styles::part(button):focus-visible { outline: dashed 2px deeppink; outline-offset: 4px; } </style>
