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.

React Snippet

CopyToClipboard.jsx

How It Works:

  • Input Field: Allows users to type text.
  • Copy Button: Copies the text when clicked.
  • Feedback Message: Displays "Copied!" after a successful copy.

Why Use This?

  • Easy to Implement: No external libraries needed.
  • User-Friendly: Immediate feedback enhances user experience.
  • Browser Support: Supported in modern browsers.

Conclusion

Adding a copy-to-clipboard feature enhances usability and ensures a seamless user experience. Try implementing this in your next project!
