Description

As an editor I want to share my visual query via URL in order to make bug reporting easier and to share my query with other editors.

Problem:
T271820 implements URL sharing but doesn't yet expose it in the UI.

GIVEN a visual query
AND
WHEN
AND
THEN
AND

Acceptance criteria:

  • UI has functionality to generate and copy a link to the current visual query
  • url is automatically copied to clipboard

Notes:

  • needs button with icon only component
  • use native element as a placeholder for now until the popover component is there: T273041
  • responsive behavior is handled in a separate ticket
  • for now we show the full URL - URL shortening will be handled in a separate ticket

The link icon type is not yet released. I'll do a pre-release for this.

I made a very WIP PR on this but some notes I figured during the work:

  • While still w3c says you need to show the text through input to able to copy to clipboard (and ooui is the same too) but the new API for copying to clipboad is usable for us because we don't support IE11 anyway (https://caniuse.com/?search=writeText) so in my PR I stopped showing the url altogether.

  • OTOH, I think we should not show it on hover. Not just it's complicated to combine with focus state (e.g. user on mouse enter, set it to active, then click on the button and make it focused, it's active again but on mouse leave should trigger hiding it...) and it'll also cause issues in matter of producing short urls all the time, it'll quickly get rate limited if let it generate one per hover. Maybe, we copy the long one on hover but with a different button we copy the short url on click?

The new kibana (logstash frontend) has this:

Also for firefox:

Writing to the clipboard is available without permission in secure contexts and browser extensions, but only from user-initiated event callbacks. Browser extensions with the "clipboardWrite" permission can write to the clipboard at any time.
