How to copy using clipboard.js with dynamic content and triggers

Question

After clicking on, .fw-code-copy-buttonI would like to copy the source code from the nearest container. .fw-code-copy-button-s are created dynamically after the user clicks the selected "View Source" button.

Html for example button:

<span class="fw-code-copy">
  <span class="fw-code-copy-button" data-clipboard-text="...">copy</span>
</span>

This is how I fire the click event and determine the source code to copy to the clipboard:

$(document).on("click", ".fw-code-copy-button", function(){
  var source = $(this).closest(".fw-code-copy").next("code").text();
});

And this is how clipboard.js fires a copy event

new Clipboard(".fw-code-copy-button", {
  text: function(trigger) {
    return source; // source should somehow be copied from scope above it
  }
});

Whenever I click anywhere on the website, the following error appears:

Uncaught Error: Missing required attributes, use either "target" or "text"

But first of all I do not want to define the text to copy in data-clipboard-text="..." and secondly, it data-clipboard-textis defined as "..."a value.

If someone pays a second, I would be very grateful.
