| 26 | +## Description |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +I want to allow users to copy the text from the dropdown list in the [AutoComplete component](slug:autocomplete-overview). |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +## Solution |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +To enable text copying from the dropdown list in the AutoComplete, use the `ItemTemplate` to display the desired text alongside a button that uses JavaScript and the Clipboard API for copying. Here’s an example implementation: |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +````RAZOR |
| 35 | +@inject IJSRuntime JS |
| 36 | +
|
| 37 | +<style> |
| 38 | + .autocomplete-item { |
| 39 | + display: flex; |
| 40 | + align-items: center; |
| 41 | + justify-content: space-between; |
| 42 | + gap: 8px; |
| 43 | + } |
| 44 | +</style> |
| 45 | +
|
| 46 | +<TelerikAutoComplete Data="@AutoCompleteData" @bind-Value="@Role" Placeholder="Write your position"> |
| 47 | + <ItemTemplate> |
| 48 | + @{ |
| 49 | + var text = context.ToString(); |
| 50 | + } |
| 51 | + <div class="autocomplete-item"> |
| 52 | + <strong>@text</strong> |
| 53 | + <TelerikButton OnClick="@(() => CopyToClipboard(text))" |
| 54 | + Icon="@SvgIcon.Copy" |
| 55 | + FillMode="@ThemeConstants.Button.FillMode.Outline" /> |
| 56 | + </div> |
| 57 | + </ItemTemplate> |
| 58 | +</TelerikAutoComplete> |
| 59 | +
|
| 60 | +@code { |
| 61 | + private string Role { get; set; } |
| 62 | + private List<string> AutoCompleteData { get; set; } |
| 63 | + private List<string> SourceData { get; set; } = new() |
| 64 | + { |
| 65 | + "Manager", "Developer", "QA", "Technical Writer", "Support Engineer", "Sales Agent", "Architect", "Designer" |
| 66 | + }; |
| 67 | +
|
| 68 | + protected override void OnInitialized() |
| 69 | + { |
| 70 | + AutoCompleteData = SourceData; |
| 71 | + } |
| 72 | +
|
| 73 | + private void OnCheckBoxChangeHandler() |
| 74 | + { |
| 75 | + AutoCompleteData = new List<string>(SourceData); |
| 76 | + } |
| 77 | +
|
| 78 | + private async Task CopyToClipboard(string text) |
| 79 | + { |
| 80 | + try |
| 81 | + { |
| 82 | + var isSupported = await JS.InvokeAsync<bool>("eval", "!!(navigator.clipboard && navigator.clipboard.writeText)"); |
| 83 | + if (isSupported) |
| 84 | + { |
| 85 | + await JS.InvokeVoidAsync("navigator.clipboard.writeText", text); |
| 86 | + } |
| 87 | + else |
| 88 | + { |
| 89 | + Console.WriteLine("Clipboard API not supported in this browser."); |
| 90 | + // Optionally show a notification to the user |
| 91 | + } |
| 92 | + } |
| 93 | + catch (Exception ex) |
| 94 | + { |
| 95 | + Console.Error.WriteLine($"Clipboard copy failed: {ex.Message}"); |
| 96 | + // Optionally show a fallback UI message to the user |
| 97 | + } |
| 98 | + } |
| 99 | +} |
| 100 | +```` |
