Sample

      v-clipboard:success="onCopy"
      v-clipboard:error="onError">Copy!</button>
  </div>
</template>

<script>
new Vue({
  el: '#app',
  template: '#t',
  data: function () {
    return {
      message: 'Copy These Text'
    }
  },
  methods: {
    onCopy: function (e) {
      alert('You just copied: ' + e.text)
    },
    onError: function (e) {
      alert('Failed to copy texts')
    }
  }
})
</script>

I want to copy texts without a specific button!

Yes, you can do it by using our new method: this.$copyText. See sample2, where we replace the clipboard directives with a v-on directive.

Sample 2

<div id="app"></div>

  <template id="t">
    <div class="container">
    <input type="text" v-model="message">
    <button type="button" @click="doCopy">Copy!</button>
    </div>
  </template>

  <script>
  new Vue({
    el: '#app',
    template: '#t',
    data: function () {
      return {
        message: 'Copy These Text'
      }
    },
    methods: {
      doCopy: function () {
        this.$copyText(this.message).then(function (e) {
          alert('Copied')
          console.log(e)
        }, function (e) {
          alert('Can not copy')
          console.log(e)
        })
      }
    }
  })
  </script>

You can use your Vue instance vm.$el to get DOM elements via the usual traversal methods, e.g.:

this.$el.children[1].children[2].textContent

This will allow you to access the rendered content of your components, rather than the components themselves.

Modern browsers have some limitations like that you can't use window.open without a user interaction. So there's the same restriction on copying things! Test it before you use it. Make sure you are not using this method inside any async method.
