Clipboard Module for plugins

[iicloudsforeveriii (cloudy)]

Overview

As Roblox hasn’t added any Clipboard Service and as a lot of plugins rely on copying text (like a majority of the icon libraries) so I made a module which greatly simplified this process in a clean and convenient way.

Advantages and Disadvantages

Advantages

• Easy to use.
• Modern UI based on the Roblox game pass prompt.
• Flexible, easy to modify UI.
• Strictly Typed and OOP based.
• Copy detection. (Detects when the user has copied the text.)

Disadvantages

• Copy detection is not compatible with mobile, VR, and console.

Instructions on how to use the module are provided in the module file.

Instructions are also provided down below.

How to use.

# Methods	Description
Module:PromptCopy(Text:string, Description:string, Player:Player)	Prompts a GUI with the provided copy element (first argument), a description that explains the text (second argument) and the player to send it to (third argument). The second and third argument are optional. But, the third argument is required if the module is used from the server side.
Module:Stop()	Stops the active prompt.

# Events	Description
OnCopy (Cancelled)	Fires when the player either pressed Ctrl + C or presses the Cancel button. The value provided determines what action was performed. (True if Cancel was pressed, false if Ctrl + C.

Example:

local Module = require(<path-to-module>)
local Response = Module:PromptCopy("Greetings!","Copy this text.",nil)
Response.OnCopy = function(Cancelled)
	if Cancelled then
		print("Player Cancelled")
	else
		print("Player Copied!")
	end
end

I suppose it is. Any thing you find wrong with this? The way you typed that makes me feel that you don’t seem to be satisfied with the looks and idea of this resource.

Just using a uneditable TextBox be good enough. That’s basically what this module does.

[iicloudsforeveriii (cloudy)]

You’re right but a simple “uneditable TextBox” can’t be as much convenient as a module.

This module removes the hassle of having a textbox. It does it for you. It’s what makes this module actually useful.

[avodey (avocado)]

It seems it just styles that box as an official CoreGui system. That’s fine and all, but a TextBox inside of your UI would suffice, and would better support Console users and UI libraries like Fusion. If your dying to save space and only use a clipboard button, this module would be good for you.

@avodey

It seems it just styles that box as an official CoreGui system.

It doesn’t “just” styles a box as an office CoreGui. No. It offers more features which I listed. For instance, auto text selection, copy detection, descriptions and copy callback. I know I’m overexaggerating the features here but can you achieve that with a simple “textbox”? Of course, you can get auto text selecting just by editing a few properties but everything else isn’t really possible unless you have a dedicated system.

@avodey

That’s fine and all, but a TextBox inside of your UI would suffice, and would better support Console users and UI libraries like Fusion.

So your main concern here is the fact that this module is not pure script and has other instances correct? Personally, it is kept that way to allow users to better modify the GUI as not everyone would want the Core Roblox Prompt to appear to copy things.

But if you’re really dying to use a UI library like Fusion then the user themselves could to that. Or I’ll do you one better. I’ll do that.
