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

 copyclip = (item) => {
    var textField = document.createElement('textarea')
    textField.innerText = item
    document.body.appendChild(textField)
    textField.select()
    document.execCommand('copy')
    this.setState({'copy':"Copied"});
    textField.remove()
    setTimeout(() => {
      this.setState({'copy':""});
    }, 1000);
 }

  this.copyclip(passTextFromHere)} >Copy {this.state.copy}
