Changing clipboard text from a callback

[prionkor]

Example

There is a copy button on a table cell, when clicked some contents from <td> elements (child of a particular <tr> element) will be copied to clipboard (not all of them).

Is it possible? I have looked into documentation and didn't find anything related. I didn't see any types of custom event listener for this plugin. Perhaps I missed something?

I'm in this exact situation too! Does anyone know if this is possible?

Thanks,
James

Please share a JSFiddle so we can debug this.

Hello,

Please find the js fiddle link below. The main goal is to able to catch and modify the content just before plugin sends it to clipboard. This is a very simplistic example.

On my app I am trying to copy on a dblclick event. But I guess that is for another question.

Maybe could be good to have the ability to concatenate in the clipboard the content of all targets matching certain class.
testing the fiddle i see that actually this is not possible.

Another idea that can be considered is a copy method that takes string and sends to clipboard. This will have a vast implementation use cases.

var clipboard = new Clipboard(); // no element passed
clipboard.copy('my text');

This will help implementing the plugin with keyboard shortcut library like Mousetrap

@carlosjdelgado Setting multiple target may be confusing to the plugin because it will not know which element it should be copy from. Considering if there are multiple element available using same class.

There are a number of errors on these JSFiddles.

1. You're loading the GitHub raw path, which doesn't include the proper MIME type and therefore cannot be executed.
2. You haven't read the documentation or checked the demo folder properly. It explains exactly how to use the imperative API.

Here's the end result @prionkor is looking for https://jsfiddle.net/zenorocha/d48hxmzy

Hey guys, I added a proposal for this feature. Can you check #518?

Thanks!
