Copying text to the clipboard is a common feature in web applications, useful for sharing links, codes, and more. Let’s build a simple Copy to Clipboard
functionality using React.
How It Works
We’ll create a button that, when clicked, copies text to the clipboard using the browser’s navigator.clipboard
API.
