clipboard.js "TypeError: n is not a function"

Ugurcan Kaya • January 21, 2020 6:31pm

I get TypeError: n is not a function from clipboard in console. Seems like there is a bug in the library

How about we replace it with a stimulus controller?

In fact, stimulus handbook has a tutorial for this:

What's the actual error?

Also Document.execCommand is obsolete according to MDN.

This feature is obsolete. Although it may still work in some browsers, its use is discouraged since it could be removed at any time. Try to avoid using it.

You are right, it is documented as obsolete. Here is a screenshot. I see it in Firefox Developer 73.0b8 and Chrome 79

Don't you think it is better to use stimulus controllers for functionality that is only required for only certain parts of the app though? What are your thoughts on that?

I don't get that error in Firefox on JumpstartRails.com and clipboard functionality is working just fine.

Ok 👍 something else in my app is causing it then.

Chris Oliver • January 23, 2020 1:13am

Let me know if you find any more info on it. 👍
