We can copy text from an email message, a graphic from a presentation, and data from a workbook or datasheet. Then paste them all into a document. You can arrange the copied items the way you want in the document using the Clipboard functionality. A common feature of Copy To Clipboard is that users can copy and paste content within their local system and outside the browser. 


The constructor() function holds the state for our component in the (this.state) object. We can add value to our state by using the copySuccess boolean. If the isCopied state is True, then the text will be copied. The setTimeout will be 1000ms. It is automatically false. A this.setState() method is added to our copyCodeToClipboard(). After the value has been copied to the clipboard, it will change copySuccess to true. Finally, the copied text will be displayed. 

  • Variable / State Variable (Depends upon your data type): Used to store the copied data.  
  • A button: We can take copy icon or a div. 
  • An onClick Handler function: The text will be copied when clicking the button. 


Here is an example of how to perform copytoClipboard using Reactjs:
