TIL Copy Text to Clipboard

POSTED ON:

TAGS: javascript

I made an app that generates a clean piece of data for the end-user.
The user then copies that data, and pastes it somewhere else.

This trick lets you do that:

const copyTextToClipboard = async (text) => {
  await navigator.clipboard.writeText(text)
}

Note that this function is asynchronous since the writeText function returns a Promise.

ONE THING TO NOTE: Encrypting a script is stronger than obfuscation, both methods are still not adequate to protect secret content. Honestly, I don't think it's worth it on a production site, and instead just go with pure server-side if you want security. But it's fascinating.
