How to set data-clipboard-target's value after ajax?

Hello,

Is it possible to set data-clipboard-target’s value after an ajax request? Because the value I need to copy would be created after an ajax request.

like below:

<!-- Target -->
<input id="foo" value=" ">

<!-- Trigger -->
<button class="btn" data-clipboard-target="#foo">
    <img src="assets/clippy.svg" alt="Copy to clipboard">
</button>

$('.btn').click(function() {
    $.ajax({
        url: '/get_text',
        type: 'POST',
        dataType:'text'
    }).done(function (resp){
        $('#foo').attr('value', resp);
    });
});

That is, I hope I can copy the value after I click button with an ajax request.

Thanks a lot!!

First of all, about this issue, I’m investigating the best way to include Ajax request on this, probably with a Promise-like API which will require a major version bump.

Secondly, what a sad comment @leandroafonso. I don’t know you understand how open source works. This a project that I maintain on my spare time, with super restricted resources. It’s intended to be a generic sugar layer on top of an existing API. It’s available for free and nobody is forced to use it. If it doesn’t fit your needs you have two options: 1) build your own 2) send a pull request. By offending an open source author you’re just discouraging their contributions. What you’re doing is distasteful.

This is a powerful but crippled tool. Made to work just the way the author finds it interesting to use.
