[Feature Request] Copy column type

[rjjrbatarao]

Feature Request

Copy option to field list and preview

What's the feature you think Backpack should have?

a copy field for list and preview example

    CRUD::addColumn([
        'name' => 'name',
        'type' => 'text',
        'label' => 'Name'
        'copy' => true // will show copy icon beside the field when clicked will show toast copied
    ]);

Have you already implemented a prototype solution, for your own project?

no

Do you see this as a core feature or an add-on?

yes

That's a cool one, thanks for the suggestion @rjjrbatarao

I don't see this is an added feature to the text column... but we could create a new column starting from TEXT, that does that. That would be pretty useful in some cases.

We've added this to the to-do list @rjjrbatarao , but please note we're super-busy with launching v6 right now, so we probably won't have time in the next few months to take care of this. If you need it fast, please use the link above to create one for your project. If you do, and can share the code here too, please do so - it would speed up us adding it too.

Thanks, cheers!

You can use the following code snippet to add it yourself in the meantime

let yourButton = document.getElementById('id-to-your-button');
yourButton.addEventListener('click', () => {
    navigator.clipboard.writeText(elementContainingTheText.value);
});

then ur html

<your-element class="some-fontawesome-or-other-css-icon" id="id-to-your-button" />

It would be nice to have this for any field, right?
One may want an email field to be copiable, or a textarea, or even an image.
But this is probably for the next Columns/Fields components.
