[](#warning-warning) This library is no longer maintained as it is no longer necessary for modern web development. If you want your frontend JavaScript to manipulate the clipboard, please look into the new HTML Clipboard API (various docs available on MDN) or a small convenience wrapper around it like [clipboard.js](https://github.com/zenorocha/clipboard.js). Thanks for all your support, this project was a labor of love for many years. ❤️ --- #### Note: [](#note) **This `master` branch contains the `v2.x` codebase for ZeroClipboard!

The "Zero" signifies that the library is invisible and the user interface is left entirely up to you. This is achieved by automatically floating the invisible movie on top of a [DOM](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Document_Object_Model) element of your choice. Standard mouse events are even propagated out to your DOM element, so you can still have rollover and mousedown effects. Suggestions welcome read over the [contributing](/CONTRIBUTING.md) guidelines. Setup ----- [](#setup) To setup the project for local development start with these commands in your terminal. ``` $ git clone https://github.com/zeroclipboard/zeroclipboard.git $ cd zeroclipboard/ $ npm install -g grunt-cli $ npm install $ grunt ``` Development ----------- [](#development) Before submitting a pull request you'll need to validate, build, and test your code. Run the default grunt task in your terminal. ``` $ grunt ``` Testing ------- [](#testing) If you just want to run the tests, run grunt test. ``` $ grunt test ``` Limitations ----------- [](#limitations) ### User Interaction Required [](#user-interaction-required) Due to browser and Flash security restrictions, this clipboard injection can ***ONLY*** occur when the user clicks on the invisible Flash movie. A simulated `click` event from JavaScript will not suffice as this would enable [clipboard poisoning](http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9117268/Adobe_patches_Flash_clickjacking_and_clipboard_poisoning_bugs). ### Other Limitations [](#other-limitations) For a complete list of limitations, see [docs/instructions.md#limitations](docs/instructions.md#limitations). On that page, you will also find an [explanation of why ZeroClipboard will *NOT* work by default on code playground sites](docs/instructions.md#starter-snippets-for-playground-sites) like JSFiddle, JSBin, and CodePen, as well as the appropriate "View" URLs to use on those sites in order to allow ZeroClipboard to work. Simple Example -------------- [](#simple-example) ``` Copy to Clipboard ``` ``` // main.js var client = new ZeroClipboard( document.getElementById("copy-button") ); client.on( "ready", function( readyEvent ) { // alert( "ZeroClipboard SWF is ready!" ); client.on( "aftercopy", function( event ) { // `this` === `client` // `event.target` === the element that was clicked event.target.style.display = "none"; alert("Copied text to clipboard: " + event.data["text/plain"] ); } ); } ); ``` See [docs/instructions.md](docs/instructions.md) for more advanced options in using the library on your site. See [docs/api/ZeroClipboard.md](docs/api/ZeroClipboard.md) for the complete API documentation. Here is a working [test page](http://zeroclipboard.github.io/#demo) where you can try out ZeroClipboard in your browser. Testing ZeroClipboard Locally ----------------------------- [](#testing-zeroclipboard-locally) To test the page [demo page](http://zeroclipboard.github.io/#demo) locally, clone the [website repo](https://github.com/zeroclipboard/zeroclipboard.github.io). Support ------- [](#support) This library is fully compatible with Flash Player 11.0.0 and above, which requires that the clipboard copy operation be initiated by a user click event inside the Flash movie. This is achieved by automatically floating the invisible movie on top of a [DOM](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Document_Object_Model) element of your choice. Standard mouse events are even propagated out to your DOM element, so you can still have rollover and mousedown effects with just a *little* extra effort. ZeroClipboard `v2.x` is expected to work in IE9+ and all of the evergreen browsers. Although support for IE7 & IE8 was officially dropped in `v2.0.0`, it was actually still *technically* supported through `v2.0.2`. Releases -------- [](#releases) Starting with version [1.1.7](https://github.com/zeroclipboard/zeroclipboard/releases/tag/v1.1.7), ZeroClipboard uses [semantic versioning](http://semver.org/). see [releases](https://github.com/zeroclipboard/zeroclipboard/releases) Related ------- [](#related) - [jquery.zeroclipboard](https://github.com/zeroclipboard/jquery.zeroclipboard) - [zeroclipboard-rails](https://github.com/zeroclipboard/zeroclipboard-rails) License ------- [](#license) MIT © [James M.
