Paste Buttons

Paste to String

The PasteButton can be used to paste any string value:

import panel as pn
from panel_copy_paste import PasteButton

pn.extension("codeeditor")

editor = pn.widgets.CodeEditor()
button = PasteButton(target=editor)
pn.Column(button, editor).servable()

► Run

If you want a custom button, it's also possible:

import panel as pn
from panel_copy_paste import PasteButton

pn.extension("codeeditor")

editor = pn.widgets.CodeEditor()
custom_button = pn.widgets.Button(name="Click here to Paste", icon="clipboard", button_type="primary", button_style="outline")
button = PasteButton(target=editor, button=custom_button)
pn.Column(button, editor).servable()

► Run

The target is optional and may be a Widget or Pane like Parameterized class, a Parameter or a callable (function). For example you can use a callable to lower case the string before pasting the value to a widget:

import panel as pn
from panel_copy_paste import PasteButton

pn.extension("codeeditor")

editor = pn.widgets.CodeEditor()

def lower_case(value):
    editor.value = value.lower()

button = PasteButton(target=lower_case)
pn.Column(button, editor).servable()

► Run

Paste to DataFrame

The PasteToDataFrameButton can be used to paste a tab-separated string from Excel or another application into your data app:

import panel as pn
from panel_copy_paste import PasteToDataFrameButton

pn.extension("tabulator")

table = pn.widgets.Tabulator()
button = PasteToDataFrameButton(target=table)
pn.Column(button, table).servable()
