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.

Here's another use case, if you would like to copy the current url to your clipboard:

Define a method

const copyToClipboard = e => {
  navigator.clipboard.writeText(window.location.toString())
}

Call that method

   Click to copy current url to clipboard
