Add "Copy Code" Button to Examples #361

Description

@IshikaBanga26

Add a small “Copy” button to every code snippet on the website so users can easily copy example code without manually selecting text. When clicked, the button should copy the code block’s text to the clipboard and show temporary feedback (e.g., “Copied!”).

Why this is needed:

Improves usability for beginners who experiment with code examples.

Prevents manual text selection errors.

Common feature on modern documentation sites.

Suggested Implementation:

Dynamically insert a Copy button for each

 block.

On click, copy the code’s text using navigator.clipboard.writeText().

Change the button text to “Copied!” for 2 seconds, then back to “Copy”.

Ensure buttons are visible but non-intrusive (top-right of code block).

Tech Stack: HTML, CSS, JavaScript (Clipboard API)
