Tailwind Blockquote with One-Click Copy Button

A quote card with a copy button that fades in on hover or focus, flips to a green “Copied” state, and announces success through a polite live region. The port drives the copied state with a data-copied attribute and v4's bare data-copied: variant, keeps the button always visible on touch (pointer-coarse:), and adds an execCommand fallback for iframes where the Clipboard API is blocked.

What changed in the port

Which parts became utilities, which stayed CSS, and why.

  • .is-copied and its four descendant rules became a data-copied attribute read by data-copied: and group-data-copied/btn: variants — the script no longer knows any class names.
  • @media (hover:none){opacity:1} became pointer-coarse:opacity-100, v4's built-in variant for touch-first devices.
  • UI upgrade from the CSS original: the button is now 44px tall (was 36px) and sits in a header row beside a decorative quote mark, instead of absolutely positioned over the first line of the quote, where it covered text on narrow cards.
  • UI upgrade: an execCommand fallback makes Copy work inside sandboxed playground iframes where navigator.clipboard is blocked; copied text now uses typographic quotes, and muted copy rose from 0.62 to 0.72.

## JavaScript
```js
(() => {
  const copyText = async (text) => {
    try { await navigator.clipboard.writeText(text); return true; }
    catch {
      const ta = Object.assign(document.createElement('textarea'), { value: text });
      ta.setAttribute('readonly', '');
      ta.style.cssText = 'position:fixed;opacity:0';
      document.body.append(ta);
      ta.select();
      const ok = document.execCommand('copy');
      ta.remove();
      return ok;
    }
  };
  document.querySelectorAll('[data-tbq25-card]').forEach((card) => {
    if (card.dataset.wired) return;
    card.dataset.wired = '1';
    const btn = card.querySelector('[data-copy]');
    const status = card.querySelector('[role="status"]');
    let t = 0;
    btn.addEventListener('click', async () => {
      const text = '\u201C' + card.querySelector('blockquote').textContent.trim() + '\u201D \u2014 ' + card.querySelector('figcaption').textContent.trim();
      const ok = await copyText(text);
      clearTimeout(t);
      if (ok) { btn.setAttribute('data-copied', ''); status.textContent = 'Quote copied to clipboard'; }
      else status.textContent = 'Copy failed \u2014 select the text instead';
      t = setTimeout(() => { btn.removeAttribute('data-copied'); status.textContent = ''; }, 1800);
    });
  });
})();
```

How this works

The script sets one attribute; utilities do the rest.

btn.setAttribute('data-copied', '');
// markup:
<button class="group/btn … data-copied:text-tbq25-ok">
  <svg class="group-data-copied/btn:hidden">…copy…</svg>
  <svg class="hidden group-data-copied/btn:block">…check…</svg>

Hidden until needed, but never unreachable. The button is transparent at rest, visible on card hover, on keyboard focus (group-focus-within:) and permanently on touch screens, where hover doesn't exist.

Clipboard can fail. Sandboxed iframes and non-HTTPS pages reject navigator.clipboard; the fallback copies via a temporary textarea, and the live region reports failure honestly if both fail.

Make it yours

  • Always visible: delete opacity-0 and the reveal variants.
  • Copy with a link: append location.href to the copied text.
  • Toast instead of button label: move the role="status" text into a visible pill.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • Don't hide the button with invisible/hidden — it must stay in the tab order to be revealed by focus.
  • group-focus-within: reveals the button when anything in the card is focused; focus-visible:opacity-100 on the button itself covers direct focus.
  • document.execCommand('copy') is deprecated but still the only fallback in many embedded contexts; keep it as a fallback, never the primary path.
