Copy to clipboard

[chriscarex]

Hi guys,
I am trying to implement a copy to clipboard button which should take the value of a textarea .
I tried both the clipboard.js library (https://clipboardjs.com/)

var copiedtext = new Clipboard("#btn-copy");

and the plain javascript approach

$("#btn-copy").on('click', function(event) {
        var copyTextarea = $("textarea").select();
        document.execCommand('copy');
    });

but none is working on mobile.
Any suggestions or ideas?

@chriscarex I looked into your question and I’m afraid on a hybrid mobile app your only option is to use a Cordova plugin such as this one. Both clipboard.js and the execCommand() function work only on browsers.

cordova plugin add https://github.com/VersoSolutions/CordovaClipboard.git

module.controller('ClipboardCtrl', function($scope, $cordovaClipboard) {

  $cordovaClipboard
    .copy('text to copy')
    .then(function () {
      // success
    }, function () {
      // error
    });

  $cordovaClipboard
    .paste()
    .then(function (result) {
      // success, use result
    }, function () {
      // error
    });

});
