FAQ
How do I find the Rails route for a page?
The easiest way is to type the following in the browser while on the page in question:
document.body.dataset.page
Find here the source code setting the attribute.
modal_copy_button vs clipboard_button
The clipboard_button uses the copy_to_clipboard.js behaviour, which is
initialized on page load, so if there are vue-based clipboard buttons that
don't exist at page load (such as ones in a GlModal), they do not have the
click handlers associated with the clipboard package.
modal_copy_button was added that manages an instance of the
clipboard plugin specific to
the instance of that component, which means that clipboard events are
bound on mounting and destroyed when the button is, mitigating the above
issue. It also has bindings to a particular container or modal ID
available, to work with the focus trap created by our GlModal.
