How would I create an interface (button, etc.) that can put something in the user’s clipboard?
Is there a way to add javascript to the UI frontend? This would be trivial in js.
Thanks,
Tim
Hello @Tim_Jones,
you can use the Custom Code block for this purpose - it allows to write any custom logic using JS:
In the example above I’ve used this library:

Thanks @stanislaw.grin! I figured there was a way to do it.
For installation did you just reference the script from wzrd.in? I assume we can’t install libraries in backendless.

The example above does reference a script directly from wzrd.in, however, it is also possible to install the libraries locally. Unfortunately, I do not know exactly what directory they should be deployed into, I just know it is possible.
I meant to reply. I saw that it does reference the external link when I looked again from my computer. I missed that detail on my phone.
I’m having trouble adding the “text” input argument. It worked once but now when I type in the input field it doesn’t save anything.

Could you please record a video showing what you’re doing with loom and post the link for the recording here?
@stanislaw.grin Did you get your example to work? I have the UI builder working, or at least I can get the custom code to create an alert. The actual copy/paste doesn’t work, I think wzrd.in is down or has problems but I’m looking for external confirmation.

Indeed, seems like there is some issue with their CDN resource.
Ok, I’ve found another working library, try it out:
await BackendlessUI.requireModule('https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/text-copy/index.min.js');
CopyText(text);

Thank you! I was going crazy trying to figure out what I was doing wrong.
That works, thanks for the amazing service.
