ZeroClipboard is a JavaScript library that enables copy-to-clipboard functionality in web pages by floating an invisible Adobe Flash movie over DOM elements. It is explicitly no longer maintained because modern browsers now provide the native HTML Clipboard API.
Use cases
- copy text to clipboard from a web page button
- add copy button to code snippets on a website
- implement copy and cut interactions in legacy browsers without Clipboard API
- keep custom UI styling while handling clipboard copy events
When to choose
- maintaining a legacy web app that must support very old browsers without the Clipboard API
- you are already using ZeroClipboard and need reference to the v2.x codebase
When to avoid
- building any new web project - use the native Clipboard API or clipboard.js instead
- your target browsers support navigator.clipboard
- you need a maintained library with active support
