The README currently says:

Returns success, a boolean which indicates if the copy was successful.

But the code actually returns a promise that resolves if the copy was successful.

Nothing is getting copied to the clipboard in the latest version of chrome. Silent error.

Just that. Thanks. Very useful and simple module without all the unneeded overload present in other alternatives.

Hi @feross,

Would you mind adding me on npm as well, or publish the v1.3.0 tag for me?

Thanks 🍻

Hey,

This package is super useful, it's simple and does it job. Do you plan or can you add paste support? Could be a separate package if you want to keep this low in file size :)

Thanks

I'm getting a TS error about: Cannot invoke an expression whose type lacks a call signature.

From what I found out, using the following typedef locally works fine:

declare module 'clipboard-copy' {
  function clipboardCopy (text: string): Promise<void>
  export default clipboardCopy
}

I'm on Typescript 3.2.

How to migrate from 1.x to 2.0.0?

It'd be useful to add a method which returns whether there is support or not in the current browser.

The update to v4 breaks IE11 compatibility because it does not like async syntax.
Not sure if this lib is still supposed to support IE11, but if not it would be helpful to have a changelog which mentions breaking changes.

clipboard-copy throws a TypeError outside the try-catch, fails to remove the iframe, and fails to copy the text contents on firefox 45.7.0.

A fix exists in PR #5

Returning promise rejection with 'The request is not allowed' error is failed in Edge browser (v17) with error message in console Function expected.

Hey @feross, would you mind publishing 1.4.2 for me 😄

It is necessary for editor to parse rich text, not just the text content.

So i tried it in dev and it worked great. Worked fine if I was using iOS device. Works fine if it's google chrome and NOT an in-app browser. On Android though, I opened the webpage of my angular 7 app using fb messenger, so it opened using facebook's in-app browser and when I trigger the copy function it caught the below error:

NotAllowedError: Write permission denied.

Not sure if this falls in your domain but thought I should mention it. I'm a beginner programmer so please let me know which details need to be provided.

My typescript code:

getShareLink() {
    
    copy(this.inviteUrl)
      .then(data => {
     
        this.successMessage = data;
       
        return this.toastr.success('Link copied to clipboard');
      }).catch(err => {
        this.failMessage = err;
        console.log(err);
    });
  }

this.failMessage on the front end was NotAllowedError: Write permission denied.

Hello,

Thanks for this nice package.

It seems like the copy doesn't work when the page is loaded into a cross-domain iframe, although the promise returns success. Tested in all major desktop/mobile browsers.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.opera.browser

It is being fixed when moving the window.getSelection().removeAllRanges() before the var range = new Range()

Let's provide a transpiled to es5 version of this lib. We can do it before publish on npm for example.
Currently this lib is not usable for devices not supporting some of es6+ syntax like async/await, Promise, const etc.

在 safri上出现这个错误。。。。

ERROR in static/js/main.b4d9d765.js from UglifyJs
Unexpected token: name (win) [./node_modules/clipboard-copy/index.js:19,0][static/js/main.b4d9d765.js:295645,6]

1.2.1 works fine

I use lookpack domains, e.g. lvh.me, to develop my web service because it uses subdomains.

As https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2018/03/clipboardapi says, however, navigator.clipboard only works on https; otherwise, it throws undefined as permission denied.

It will be nice if the module fallbacks to execCommand("copy") when witeText() fails.

Version 11.1.1 (12605.2.8)

I think this got lost under the outdated diff, so reposting here just to be sure:

I was matching the browser API. Even if I reject with an error here, the user can't rely on that, since if the Async Clipboard API is used then it may reject without an error. I thought it was better to be consistent. Will add a comment.

Aha, interesting... I wonder why they would standardize around that 🤔

Do you have a link where I can read about this? I tried searching but to me, it didn't seem like the spec mentioned what the Promise should be rejected with.

In the chrome examples it seems like they reject with a proper error:

navigator.clipboard.writeText('Text to be copied')
  .then(() => {
    console.log('Text copied to clipboard');
  })
  .catch(err => {
    // This can happen if the user denies clipboard permissions:
    console.error('Could not copy text: ', err);
  });
