Use Copy To Clipboard

A React hook that copies a string to the browser clipboard and exposes whether the most recent copy succeeded. It resets the copied state after a configurable timeout and can invoke a callback after a successful copy.

Installation

pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add @kokonutui/use-copy-to-clipboard

Requires @kokonutui in the registries of your components.json (shadcn adds official directory namespaces automatically).

Usage

usage.tsx
import { useCopyToClipboard } from "@/hooks/use-copy-to-clipboard";function CopyButton() {  const { isCopied, copyToClipboard } = useCopyToClipboard();  return (    <button type="button" onClick={() => copyToClipboard("https://example.com")}>      {isCopied ? "Copied" : "Copy link"}    </button>  );}
  • Add clipboard-copy behavior to a button or other interactive control.
  • Show temporary confirmation after copying text, such as a URL, code snippet, or generated value.
  • Run an action after a successful clipboard write using the onCopy callback.

API reference

PropTypeDefaultDescription
timeoutnumber2000Time in milliseconds before isCopied resets to false after a successful clipboard write.
onCopy() => voidundefinedOptional callback invoked after a successful clipboard write.

Accessibility

  • Use a semantic button with an accessible name that describes the copy action.
  • Expose copy confirmation to assistive technology, for example with a nearby element using aria-live="polite".
  • Do not rely on a visual state change alone to communicate that copying succeeded.
  • Clipboard writing requires browser clipboard support and may depend on permissions or a secure context; provide an appropriate fallback or error message in the consuming UI.
