react-copy-code

react-copy-code is a component that will add a "copy to clipboard" button to 'pre code' blocks that are rendered as it's children. Children can be jsx, other components, or an html string by setting the innerHtml prop. If the highlight prop is set, it also uses highlight.js to add the proper classes needed for highlighting code.

Installation

npm install react-copy-code

Usage

import CodeBlock from 'react-copy-code';
 
const App = () => (
   <CodeBlock>

      {using as many pre code blocks you want}
   </CodeBlock>
);

or

import CodeBlock from 'react-copy-code';
 
const App = () => (

   </CodeBlock>
);
