Copy Button
An icon button that copies text to the clipboard and animates a copy → check transition with a live announcement.
Preview
Controls
Device view renders in an isolated frame so real responsive breakpoints apply. Switch to Full for overflowing popovers.
Installation
php artisan ui:add copy-button
Behavior layer (Alpine)
This component installs a self-registering Alpine module to
resources/js/ui/copy-button.js. Import the behavior layer once
from your bundle so it loads (it hooks alpine:init):
import './copy-button.js';

Guidance
Buttons and direct actionsCommit an explicit user action.
Use when
- Use for explicit actions and commits; keep one action visually primary when several sit together. Do not use button treatment for navigation-only view changes when links, tabs, or radios describe state more clearly.
Avoid when
- Avoid using copy-button as a default simply because it is available in the library. Choose it only when its interaction cost, visibility, and behavior match the job to be done.
- Task length
- micro
- Interaction cost
- low
- Interruptiveness
- none
- Input precision
- precise
- Mobile / touch risk
- low
- Accessibility risk
- medium
- Needs background context
- No
- Comparison needed
- No
Preferred alternatives
- Link for navigation
- Tabs or radios for view changes
Anti-patterns
- Using a button for navigation-only state changes
- Presenting multiple equally dominant primary actions

Slots
Components use the default Blade slot unless a documented subcomponent is installed by the registry item.
Data slots
copy-button
Capabilities
Behavior
- Uses server-rendered Blade and semantic HTML.
- Installs a JavaScript behavior module when the registry item includes resources/js/ui files.
- Declares registry capability flags: a11y, interactive, responsive, rtl, darkMode, localized.
Usage
<div class="flex items-center gap-3 rounded-md border border-border bg-muted px-4 py-3 font-mono text-sm text-foreground">
<span class="flex-1">composer require jml/brok</span>
<x-ui.copy-button value="composer require jml/brok" label="Copy command" :copiedLabel="__('Copied')" />
</div>
Accessibility & localization
data-slot
Keyboard focus-visible
Localized labels
- Accessibility target: wcag-2.2-aa-target.
- Uses semantic HTML and a stable
data-slotattribute for styling/scripting hooks. - Focus-visible rings use the
ringtoken so keyboard focus is always visible. - Disabled and invalid states are conveyed to assistive tech, not by color alone.
- Targets WCAG 2.2 AA; verify contrast in light, dark, admin and customer surfaces above.
- Labels go through
__()and the component uses logical properties (ms-*,text-start,start-*) so it mirrors correctly — flip the preview to RTL to confirm.
Source
The exact, editable file ui:add writes
into your app — copy it or own the whole thing. Previews
render this same code; there are no preview-only components.
