Ported to Flarum 2.0 from ffans/clipboardjs. v1.1.1(1w ago)049↓38.8%[1 issues](https://github.com/linkrobins/clipboard/issues)MITJavaScriptPHP ^8.3 Since May 11Pushed 1w agoCompare [ Source](https://github.com/linkrobins/clipboard)[ Packagist](https://packagist.org/packages/linkrobins/clipboard)[ RSS](/packages/linkrobins-clipboard/feed)WikiDiscussions main Synced 1w ago READMEChangelog (3)Dependencies (1)Versions (4)Used By (0) Link Robins Clipboard ===================== [](#link-robins-clipboard) Adds a copy-to-clipboard button to every code block in posts, plus an optional language label in the top-right. Seven visual themes to choose from. Ported to Flarum 2.0 from [`ffans/clipboardjs`](https://github.com/ffans/clipboardjs) (MIT). Credit to Golden for the original. What it does ------------ [](#what-it-does) Two features: 1. **Copy button on code blocks** — when a visitor hovers over a `` in a post, a small "copy" button appears. Click it; the code is on their clipboard. The button briefly flips to a checkmark to confirm. Seven button styles to match the look of GitHub, CSDN, Jianshu, etc. 2. **Language label on code blocks** — when a syntax highlighter (Prism, highlight.js, etc.) decorates `` with a `language-X` class, the extension hoists that class onto the parent `` and the CSS shows the language name in the top-right of the block. Both features have independent toggles in the admin settings; you can use one without the other. Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - Flarum **2.0** or later - PHP **8.2** or later - Optional: a syntax highlighter extension (for the language label feature to have something to display) Installation ------------ [](#installation) ``` composer require linkrobins/clipboard php flarum cache:clear ``` In Flarum admin → **Extensions**, find **Link Robins Clipboard** and enable it. Open its settings to pick a theme and toggle features. Settings -------- [](#settings) - **Enable copy button on code blocks** — turn the copy button on or off - **Copy button style** — default, GitHub, LingCoder, CSDN, cnBlogs, Jian Shu, SegmentFault - **Show language label on code blocks** — turn the language label on or off How it works under the hood --------------------------- [](#how-it-works-under-the-hood) The extension extends `CommentPost.oncreate` and, after each post renders, walks the post DOM for `` elements. For each one not already decorated, it inserts a themed button. Click handlers use the modern native `navigator.clipboard.writeText()` API to copy code text, with a hidden-textarea + `document.execCommand('copy')` fallback for older browsers or non-secure contexts. The language detection sets up a `MutationObserver` once per page that watches `` elements for a `language-X` class. When one appears (after a syntax highlighter runs), the class is mirrored onto the parent `` so the CSS selectors in `_languages.less` can display the language name. What changed from the 1.x original ---------------------------------- [](#what-changed-from-the-1x-original) - Targets `flarum/core ^2.0` - Renamed namespace: `linkrobins-clipboard.*` - **Dropped the `clipboard` npm dependency** — modern browsers have a native clipboard API, and the original library is now obsolete - **Dropped the `SaveSettings` listener** — it used `Flarum\Api\Event\Serializing` which was removed in Flarum 2.0, and its work is redundant with the `serializeToForum` extender calls already in `extend.php` - **No webpack/JSX build** — vanilla JS, hand-written, no `node_modules` - Uses `app.registry.for('linkrobins-clipboard')` (the 2.0 name) instead of `app.extensionData.for(...)` - Setting type renamed `switch` → `boolean` (both work; `boolean` is the modern name) - CSS class renamed to `LinkRobinsClipboard` (the `.clipboard` button class stays the same so themes from upstream still apply) License ------- [](#license) MIT.
