Make it work without Flash

[gregra81]

Chrome is dropping Flash support, this will basically make this wonderful directive unusable.

It's a very good idea!

I'll try to find some time to work on this, but I would love to merge a pull request that tackles this if someone has the time.

Hi @gregra81, I started to work on a new version that doesn't require flash, it would be very helpful if you could check this branch clipboard-js and let me know if it works for you.

Thanks!

OK, @asafdav, I'll take a look as soon as I have time. BTW, I thought that copying from your browser to the computer via JS poses a security threat and browsers don't allow it. Am I wrong?

[gregra81]

@asafdav, I gave it a quick check. First of all, thank you for your time in developing that.
For now, it works well on Chrome. Is there a plan to push it to other browsers?
Is there a plan releasing it as a stable version?

[asafdav]

Hi @gregra81, yes I hope to release it soon. I'll have to implement the missing features. thanks for taking the time and help my out.

Do it please if you still support this repo

Or do some another bower package

Yeah I think it would be great to use the execAction api and then if that doesn't work we make a request to load the flash version and try it..

[niemyjski]

@asafdav I see your branch by why even have the dependency on clipboard js.. It's super simple to just call execAction('copy') and wrap that in a try block.

[gregra81]

@niemyjski - I suggest you fork the repo, add this and make a pull request. What do you think?

[niemyjski]

I already switched to angular-clipboard which uses this api
