Tooltips + Highlight Animation With Clipboard.js Click

Question

I\'ve successfully installed clipboard.js and have gotten snippets of text to copy to the clipboard upon click. I\'m going to be nesting these snippets of text (or the \"btn

Answer 1

Seems like all you want to do is integrating Clipboard.js with a Tooltip solution.

So here's how you can accomplish that using Bootstrap's Tooltip.

// Tooltip

$('button').tooltip({
  trigger: 'click',
  placement: 'bottom'
});

function setTooltip(btn, message) {
  $(btn).tooltip('hide')
    .attr('data-original-title', message)
    .tooltip('show');
}

function hideTooltip(btn) {
  setTimeout(function() {
    $(btn).tooltip('hide');
  }, 1000);
}

// Clipboard

var clipboard = new Clipboard('button');

clipboard.on('success', function(e) {
  setTooltip(e.trigger, 'Copied!');
  hideTooltip(e.trigger);
});

clipboard.on('error', function(e) {
  setTooltip(e.trigger, 'Failed!');
  hideTooltip(e.trigger);
});

<button class="btn btn-primary" data-clipboard-text="It worked!">Click me</button>
<button class="btn btn-primary" data-clipboard-text="It worked again!">Click me</button>

I've come up with a slight improvement to Zeno's code, which wraps it in a jQuery function, and supports copying from an arbitrary element:

if (typeof $.uf === 'undefined') {
    $.uf = {};
}

$.uf.copy = function (button) {
    var _this = this;

    var clipboard = new ClipboardJS(button, {
        text: function(trigger) {
            var el = $(trigger).closest('.js-copy-container').find('.js-copy-target');
            if (el.is(':input')) {
                return el.val();
            } else {
                return el.html();
            }
        }
    });

    clipboard.on('success', function(e) {
        setTooltip(e.trigger, 'Copied!');
        hideTooltip(e.trigger);
    });

    clipboard.on('error', function(e) {
        setTooltip(e.trigger, 'Failed!');
        hideTooltip(e.trigger);
    });

    function setTooltip(btn, message) {
        $(btn)
        .attr('data-original-title', message)
        .tooltip('show');
    }
    
    function hideTooltip(btn) {
        setTimeout(function() {
            $(btn).tooltip('hide')
            .attr('data-original-title', "");
        }, 1000);
    }

    // Tooltip
    $(button).tooltip({
        trigger: 'click'
    });
};

// Link all copy buttons
$.uf.copy('.js-copy-trigger');

<form>
 <div class="form-group">
  <label>Email</label>
  <div class="input-group js-copy-container">
    <input type="text" class="form-control js-copy-target" name="email" autocomplete="off" value="example@example.com" placeholder="Email goes here" disabled>
    <span class="input-group-btn">
      <button class="btn btn-default js-copy-trigger" type="button">Copy</button>
    </span>
  </div>
 </div>
</form>

You'll notice that we have our button with a class of js-copy-trigger, and the text/control to be copied with the js-copy-target class. Both of these are wrapped in a common js-copy-container class.

This is much better than using id targets, because you often need to generate multiple copy buttons (for example, in a table), and ids must be unique on a page.
