Description
Shiny/R Wrapper for 'clipboard.js'.
Description
Leverages the functionality of 'clipboard.js', a JavaScript library for HMTL5-based copy to clipboard from web pages (see <https://clipboardjs.com> for more information), and provides a reactive copy-to-clipboard UI button component, called 'rclipButton', and a a reactive copy-to-clipboard UI link component, called 'rclipLink', for 'shiny' R applications.

rclipboard: clipboard.js for R/Shiny applications
clipboard.js is a super light javascript framework, which provides copy-to-clipboard functionality using HTML5. The simple rclipboard
R package is simple and leverages clipboard.js
functionality to provide a reactive copy-to-clipboard UI button component, called rclipButton
, and a reactive copy-to-clipboard UI link component, called rclipLink
, for Shiny R applications.
While rclipButton
and rclipLink
will work in applications that use native shiny
UI constructors, the code below illustrates a marginally more complex example in which a tooltip is displayed when hovering on top of the button thanks to the use of UI constructors from the bslib
package.
library(shiny)
library(bslib)
library(rclipboard)
# The UI
ui <- bslib::page_fluid(
rclipboardSetup(),
# Add a text input
textInput("copytext", "Copy this:", "Zlika!"),
# UI ouputs for the copy-to-clipboard buttons
uiOutput("clip"),
# A text input for testing the clipboard content.
textInput("paste", "Paste here:")
)
# The server
server <- function(input, output) {
# Add clipboard buttons
output$clip <- renderUI({
rclipButton(
inputId = "clipbtn",
label = "rclipButton Copy",
clipText = input$copytext,
icon = icon("clipboard"),
tooltip = "Click me... I dare you!",
placement = "top",
options = list(delay = list(show = 800, hide = 100), trigger = "hover")
)
})
}
shinyApp(ui = ui, server = server)
