    var copyElement = document.createElement('input');      
    copyElement.setAttribute('type', 'text');   
    copyElement.setAttribute('value', text);    
    copyElement = document.body.appendChild(copyElement);   
    copyElement.select();   
    document.execCommand('copy');   
    copyElement.remove();
}
