In reactJS, how to copy text to clipboard?

Question

I\'m using ReactJS and when a user clicks a link I want to copy some text to the clipboard.

I am using Chrome 52 and I do not need to support any other browsers.

Answer 1

Use this simple inline onClick function on a button if you want to programatically write data to the clipboard.

onClick={() => {navigator.clipboard.writeText(this.state.textToCopy)}}
