Clipboard.js 3.0

[zenorocha]

Hello everybody!

I'm starting to think about Clipboard.js 3.0, here's what I'm envisioning:

• Promise-based (which will drop support for IE) Replace event emitter with promises #517
• DOM-independent (which will be more Angular/React/Vue friendly) Add DOM-independent copy/cut API #518

What do you think?

What's the status on the "DOM-independent copy/cut API" ?

[stjava]

I want to ask the same question.

I like the two proposed ideas. Especially the DOOM-Independent functionality would make the library more useful in even more cases and chainable to other user interaction.

My example: click button => change text in textarea => copy to clipboard. This would be possible all in one go (does not seem to be possible at the moment).

Looking forward to v3.0!

I am just wondering what's the difference between the native clipboard API and this plugin?

this v3 looks like a polyfill for the native API 😄

Please support rich text copy text/html besides text/plain.

@zenorocha are you planning to use the native clipboard API under the hood and fallback to document.execCommand with a promise-based interface under it?
