How do I copy to clipboard in Angular 2 Typescript?

Question

Is there a way to copy text in clipboard (multi-browser) in Angular2 Typescript framework?

I find only sources of using Javascript, e.g.

document.exe

Here is a simple code in case your text is not inside an input or textarea, but a div, or any other HTMLElement and you don't want to use any external libraries:

window.getSelection().selectAllChildren(document.getElementById('yourID'));
document.execCommand("copy");

I was unable to use the select() command because it wasn't recognized by Angular. Hope this helps someone!
