How can I integrate the Clipboard.js script into Webflow to create a button that copies my email address to the user's clipboard when clicked?
To integrate the Clipboard.js script into Webflow and create a button that copies your email address to the user's clipboard when clicked, you can follow these steps:
Access your Webflow project: Log in to your Webflow account and select the project in which you want to add the Clipboard.js integration.
Create a new page or open an existing page: You can add the Clipboard.js integration to any page in your Webflow project. Create a new page specifically for this feature or open an existing page where you want to add the functionality.
Add a button element: In the Webflow Designer, drag and drop a new button element onto your page or choose an existing button that you want to use for this functionality.
Add custom attributes to the button: Select the button element, either by clicking on it or through the Navigator panel. In the right-hand sidebar, click on the Add Field button under Custom Attributes.
Create a custom attribute: In the Add Custom Attribute modal, input
data-clipboard-target
as the name and set its value as the CSS class or ID of the element containing your email address. For example, if your email address is within a<div>
element with the class ofemail-address
, set the value as.email-address
(for classes) or#email-address
(for IDs).Upload the Clipboard.js script: Go to the Clipboard.js website and download the latest version of the script. Upload the script file to your Webflow project by going to the Assets tab and clicking on Upload File. Once uploaded, the file will be hosted on Webflow's servers.
Link the Clipboard.js script to your page: In the Webflow Designer, go to the Custom Code tab and click on code. Add the following
<script>
tag within the code block:
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/clipboard@2/dist/clipboard.min.js"></script>
- Set up the Clipboard.js functionality: Below the
<script>
tag you just added, create a new<script>
block and enter the following code:
<script> document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function () { var clipboard = new ClipboardJS('.your-button-class'); // Replace with the class of your button element clipboard.on('success', function (e) { console.log('Email address copied to clipboard!'); // Optionally, you can display a success message to the user. }); clipboard.on('error', function (e) { console.error('Failed to copy email address to clipboard:', e.action); }); });</script>
Modify the class in the JavaScript code: Within the
<script>
block that you just added, change.your-button-class
to the CSS class or ID of the button element you want to use. For example, if your button has the classcopy-button
, change the code tonew ClipboardJS('.copy-button')
.Publish your changes: Once you have completed the steps above, click on the Publish button to make your changes live on the web. Test the functionality by clicking the button and verifying that your email address is copied to the user's clipboard.
Congratulations! You have successfully integrated Clipboard.js into your Webflow project to create a button that copies your email address to the user's clipboard when clicked.
