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

Clipboard Permission: read | write

Current copied: none

Usage

vue
<script setup lang="ts">
import { useClipboard } from '@vueuse/core'

const source = ref('Hello')
const { text, copy, copied, isSupported } = useClipboard({ source })
</script>

<template>
  <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>
</template>

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

Component Usage

This function also provides a renderless component version via the @vueuse/components package. Learn more about the usage.

vue
<template>
  <UseClipboard v-slot="{ copy, copied }" source="copy me">
    <button @click="copy()">
      {{ copied ? 'Copied' : 'Copy' }}
    </button>
  </UseClipboard>
</template>
