Nodes

Copy To Clipboard (nodegx.clipboard)

Port	Direction	Type	Description
Text	input	string	The text to copy. An unconnected input is treated as an empty string.
Copy	input	signal	Fire to perform the copy.
Success	output	signal	The text is on the clipboard.
Failure	output	signal	The copy was refused or unavailable.
Error	output	string	Human-readable failure message (empty on success).

How it copies

1. In secure contexts (https or localhost) it uses the async Clipboard API, navigator.clipboard.writeText.
2. On plain http, in older browsers, or when the async write is refused, it falls back to an off-screen readonly textarea plus document.execCommand('copy').

If neither path is available, Failure fires and Error explains why.

Notes

• Browsers gate clipboard writes behind a user gesture — wire Copy from a Button's Click (as the bundled Clipboard Demo component does), not from a timer or a page-load signal, or the browser may refuse the write.
• The demo component Clipboard Demo shows the wiring: a Button's Click fires Copy, Success/Failure drive a States node whose currentState feeds a status Text, and Error feeds a second Text.
• No post-install configuration is required.
