Reactive Clipboard API. Provides the ability to respond to clipboard commands (cut, copy, and paste) as well as to asynchronously read from and write to the system clipboard. Access to the contents of the clipboard is gated behind the Permissions API. Without user permission, reading or altering the clipboard contents is not permitted.

Learn how to reactively save text to the clipboard with this FREE video lesson from Vue School!

Demo

Your browser does not support Clipboard API

Usage

js
import { useClipboard } from '@vueuse/core'

const source = ref('Hello')
const { text, copy, copied, isSupported } = useClipboard({ source })
import { useClipboard } from '@vueuse/core'

const source = ref('Hello')
const { text, copy, copied, isSupported } = useClipboard({ source })
html
 <div v-if="isSupported">
    <button @click='copy(source)'>
      <!-- by default, `copied` will be reset in 1.5s -->
      <span v-if='!copied'>Copy</span>
      <span v-else>Copied!</span>
    </button>
    <p>
      Current copied: <code>{{ text || 'none' }}</code>
    </p>
  </div>
  <p v-else>
    Your browser does not support Clipboard API
  </p>
 <div v-if="isSupported">
    <button @click='copy(source)'>
      <!-- by default, `copied` will be reset in 1.5s -->
      <span v-if='!copied'>Copy</span>
      <span v-else>Copied!</span>
    </button>
    <p>
      Current copied: <code>{{ text || 'none' }}</code>
    </p>
  </div>
  <p v-else>
    Your browser does not support Clipboard API
  </p>

Set legacy: true to keep the ability to copy if Clipboard API is not available. It will handle copy with execCommand as fallback.
