In reactJS, how to copy text to clipboard?

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.

class CopyToClipboard extends React.Component {

  textArea: any

  copyClipBoard = () => {
    this.textArea.select()
    document.execCommand('copy')
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <>
         this.textArea = textarea}  />
        

        CLICK
        
      

    )
  }
}

export default CopyToClipboard
