Anatomy

Check the clipboard anatomy and part names.

Each part includes a data-part attribute to help identify them in the DOM.

Usage

Import the clipboard package:

import * as clipboard from "@zag-js/clipboard"

The clipboard package exports two key functions:

machine - State machine logic.
connect - Maps machine state to JSX props and event handlers.

Pass a unique id to useMachine so generated element ids stay predictable.

Then use the framework integration helpers:

import * as clipboard from "@zag-js/clipboard"
import { useMachine, normalizeProps } from "@zag-js/react"
import { ClipboardCheck, ClipboardCopyIcon } from "lucide-react"
import { useId } from "react"

function Clipboard() {
  const service = useMachine(clipboard.machine, {
    id: useId(),
    value: "https://github.com/chakra-ui/zag",
  })

  const api = clipboard.connect(service, normalizeProps)

  return (
    <div {...api.getRootProps()}>
      <label {...api.getLabelProps()}>Copy this link</label>
      <div {...api.getControlProps()}>
        <input {...api.getInputProps()} />
        <button {...api.getTriggerProps()}>
          {api.copied ? <ClipboardCheck /> : <ClipboardCopyIcon />}
        </button>
      </div>
    </div>
  )
}

import * as clipboard from "@zag-js/clipboard"
import { useMachine, normalizeProps } from "@zag-js/solid"
import { ClipboardCheck, ClipboardCopyIcon } from "lucide-solid"
import { createMemo, createUniqueId } from "solid-js"

function Clipboard() {
  const service = useMachine(clipboard.machine, {
    id: createUniqueId(),
    value: "https://github.com/chakra-ui/zag",
  })

  const api = createMemo(() => clipboard.connect(service, normalizeProps))

  return (
    <div {...api().getRootProps()}>
      <label {...api().getLabelProps()}>Copy this link</label>
      <div {...api().getControlProps()}>
        <input {...api().getInputProps()} />
        <button {...api().getTriggerProps()}>
          <Show when={api().copied} fallback={<ClipboardCopyIcon />}>
            <ClipboardCheck />
          </Show>
        </button>
      </div>
    </div>
  )
}

<script setup>
  import * as clipboard from "@zag-js/clipboard"
  import { useMachine, normalizeProps } from "@zag-js/vue"
  import { ClipboardCheck, ClipboardCopyIcon } from "lucide-vue-next"
  import { computed } from "vue"

  const service = useMachine(clipboard.machine, {
    id: "1",
    value: "https://github.com/chakra-ui/zag",
  })

  const api = computed(() => clipboard.connect(service, normalizeProps))
</script>

<template>
  <div v-bind="api.getRootProps()">
    <label v-bind="api.getLabelProps()">Copy this link</label>
    <div v-bind="api.getControlProps()">
      <input v-bind="api.getInputProps()" style="width: 100%" />
      <button v-bind="api.getTriggerProps()">
        <ClipboardCheck v-if="api.copied" />
        <ClipboardCopyIcon v-else />
      </button>
    </div>
  </div>
</template>

<script lang="ts">
  import * as clipboard from "@zag-js/clipboard"
  import { useMachine, normalizeProps } from "@zag-js/react"
  import { ClipboardCheck, ClipboardCopyIcon } from "lucide-svelte"
  import { useId } from "react"

  const id = $props.id()
  const service = useMachine(
    clipboard.machine, ({
      id: id,
      value: "https://github/com/chakra-ui/zag",
    }),
  )

  const api = $derived(clipboard.connect(service, normalizeProps))
</script>

<div {...api.getRootProps()}>
  <label {...api.getLabelProps()}>Copy this link</label>
  <div {...api.getControlProps()}>
    <input {...api.getInputProps()} />
    <button {...api.getTriggerProps()}>
      {api.copied ? <ClipboardCheck /> : <ClipboardCopyIcon />}
    </button>
  </div>
</div>

Setting the clipboard value

Set value to control what gets copied.

const service = useMachine(clipboard.machine, {
  value: "Hello, world!",
})

Setting an initial value

Use defaultValue for uncontrolled initial value.

const service = useMachine(clipboard.machine, {
  defaultValue: "Hello, world!",
})

Listening for value changes

Use onValueChange to react when the clipboard value changes.

const service = useMachine(clipboard.machine, {
  onValueChange(details) {
    console.log("Value changed to", details.value)
  },
})

Listening to copy events

When the value is copied, onStatusChange is fired.

const service = useMachine(clipboard.machine, {
  onStatusChange: (details) => {
    console.log("Copy status changed to", details.copied)
  },
})

Checking if the value is copied

Use api.copied to check if the value was copied.

const api = clipboard.connect(service)

if (api.copied) {
  console.log("Value is copied to the clipboard")
}

Changing the timeout

By default, the copied feedback resets after 3000ms. Set timeout to change this delay.

const service = useMachine(clipboard.machine, {
  timeout: 5000,
})

Styling guide

Each part includes a data-part attribute you can target in CSS.

[data-scope="clipboard"][data-part="root"] {
  /* styles for the root part */
}

Methods and Properties

Machine Context

The clipboard machine exposes the following context properties:

idsPartial<{ root: string; input: string; label: string; }>The ids of the elements in the clipboard. Useful for composition.
valuestringThe controlled value of the clipboard
defaultValuestringThe initial value to be copied to the clipboard when rendered. Use when you don't need to control the value of the clipboard.
onValueChange(details: ValueChangeDetails) => voidThe function to be called when the value changes
onStatusChange(details: CopyStatusDetails) => voidThe function to be called when the value is copied to the clipboard
timeoutnumberThe timeout for the copy operation
idstringThe unique identifier of the machine.
getRootNode() => ShadowRoot | Node | DocumentA root node to correctly resolve document in custom environments. E.x.: Iframes, Electron.

Machine API

The clipboard api exposes the following methods:

copiedbooleanWhether the value has been copied to the clipboard
valuestringThe value to be copied to the clipboard
setValue(value: string) => voidSet the value to be copied to the clipboard
copyVoidFunctionCopy the value to the clipboard
