ngx-clipboard

What is ngx-clipboard?

ngx-clipboard is an Angular library that provides a simple way to copy text to the clipboard. It is designed to be easy to use and integrate into Angular applications, offering both directive and service-based approaches for copying text.

What are ngx-clipboard's main functionalities?

Directive-based Copy

This feature allows you to use a directive to copy text to the clipboard. By adding the `ngxClipboard` directive to a button and binding the `cbContent` property to the text you want to copy, you can easily enable copy functionality.

<button ngxClipboard [cbContent]="'Text to copy'">Copy Text</button>

Service-based Copy

This feature allows you to use a service to copy text to the clipboard. By injecting the `ClipboardService` into your component, you can call the `copy` method with the text you want to copy.

import { ClipboardService } from 'ngx-clipboard';

constructor(private clipboardService: ClipboardService) {}

copyText() {
  this.clipboardService.copy('Text to copy');
}

Copy from Input Element

This feature allows you to copy text from an input element. By referencing the input element and using the `copyFromInputElement` method of the `ClipboardService`, you can copy the text contained in the input element.

<input #inputText type="text" value="Text to copy">
<button (click)="clipboardService.copyFromInputElement(inputText)">Copy Text</button>
