Based on a request in another post, here is more info on using the dcc.Clipboad component with Dash Ag Grid.
If you want to copy text from the grid, the easiest way is to enable text selection . However if you would like to include a copy button, you can use the dcc.Clipboard in a cell renderer. . The nice thing about using the dcc.Clipboard component is that it’s possible to format the content that’s copied to the clipboard. 
Note for AG Grid Enterprise users - see also: React Data Grid: Clipboard
Example 1 Copy a cell.
In this example, when you click on the copy button, the content of the cell is copied to the clipboard.
A couple of things to note in the JavaScript function
- It creates a div that includes the content of the cell,
props.value, and the dcc.Clipboard component. - Use the
contentprop to specify what is copied to the clipboard. Here we usecontent: props.value - it’s possible to format the content that’s copied to the clipboard. Try changing the
contentprop to
content: "Ticker: " + props.value, - With
dcc.Clipboard, it’s necessary to definesetPropsas a function in the cell renderer, even though it’s unused. And thanks for that tip @jinnyzor.

Example 2 Copy a row
In this example the dcc.Clipboard component is in a separate column. When you click on the icon it copies the entire row.

from dash import Dash, html, dcc
import pandas as pd
data = {
"ticker": ["AAPL", "MSFT", "AMZN", "GOOGL"],

}
df = pd.DataFrame(data)
columnDefs = [
{
"headerName": "",
"cellRenderer": "CopyRow",
"lockPosition": "left",
"maxWidth": 25,
"filter": False,
"cellStyle": {"paddingLeft": 5},
},
{
"headerName": "Stock Ticker",
"field": "ticker",
},
{"headerName": "Company", "field": "company", "filter": True},
{
"headerName": "Last Close Price",
"type": "rightAligned",
"field": "price",
"valueFormatter": {"function": """d3.format("($,.2f")(params.value)"""},
"editable": True,
},

defaultColDef = {
"resizable": True,
"sortable": True,

grid = dag.AgGrid(
id="grid",
columnDefs=columnDefs,
rowData=df.to_dict("records"),

defaultColDef=defaultColDef,
dashGridOptions={"rowHeight": 48},

Pro tip:
To see what’s included with the props in the cell renderer function, include a console.log() before the return statement, then you can see it in the browser console.
dagcomponentfuncs.DCC_Clipboard = function (props) {
console.log("props", props)
return React.createElement("div", {}, [
