# Copy button

A React component in [Beamline](https://beamline.io/)'s [Actions](https://beamline.io/components/actions) category, in the free sample. Live demo: https://beamline.io/components/copy-button

Copies a value and confirms in place: the icon becomes a check and the label says Copied; a refused copy says so instead of pretending.

## Use it for

- Copying a key, an id, a URL or a code snippet with visible confirmation.

## Not for

- Copying whole documents or files (offer a download).

## Anatomy

- Button
- icon (copy → check / x)
- label
- live status for screen readers

## Variants

- **variant**: secondary (default), outline, ghost, plain (alias of ghost), primary
- **size**: sm, md, lg

## States

- idle
- copied (1.6 s)
- failed
- disabled

## Keyboard

- Enter / Space copies

## Motion

Icon feedback uses --pui-duration-feedback (existing 160ms default); reduced/none swaps instantly. Copy result timeout is reading time and does not scale with animation speed.
