Copy Component Button

These components are sourced from Framer University.

This is a component in Framer that allows users to copy anything to the clipboard with a button click. It can also be used to copy Framer components to the clipboard, which can later be pasted back into Framer. Feel free to copy this component into your project or remix the project to see how it's built.


Creating a "Copy Component Button" in Framer is a straightforward yet powerful way to enable users to copy Framer components directly to their clipboard and paste them into any Framer project.

First, let's understand how to copy a component's URL. By going to the Assets panel, selecting a component, and clicking the three dots, you can choose "Copy URL" to get the component's URL onto your clipboard. This URL is what we will use in our "Copy Component Button" to enable the copy functionality.

Framer provides a pre-built "Copy to Clipboard" component that we can use as a base. You can find it by searching for "copy" in the Insert panel. This component allows you to copy any text to the clipboard, but it has limited customization options. To overcome this, we'll use this pre-built component as a trigger within our fully customizable no-code component.

Here's how to build it:

  • Add the necessary elements, such as text and icons, and wrap them in stacks for proper alignment.

  • Set up states for the button, including a "default" state and a "copied" state.

  • Use the pre-built "Copy to Clipboard" component as a hidden trigger within our button. Make it fully transparent and position it absolutely to cover the custom button.

By following these steps, we can create a button that not only looks exactly how we want but also has the functionality to copy a component's URL to the clipboard.

Once the button is set up, you can create interactions between the states to show a smooth transition when the button is clicked. For instance, when the button is clicked, it changes to the "copied" state, and after a brief delay, it returns to the "default" state. This provides visual feedback to the user that the action was successful.
