function App() {
  return (
    <div>
      <h2>How To Copy Text To Clipboard In React JS - Websolutionstuff</h2>
    </div>
  );
}

import React, { Component } from "react";
 
import copy from "copy-to-clipboard";
 
import "./App.css";
 
Class CopyBoard extends Component {
 
  constructor() {
    super();
 
    this.state = {
      textToCopy: "Copy to Clipboard Demo!",
    };
 
    this.handleInputChange = this.handleInputChange.bind(this);
 
    this.Copytext = this.Copytext.bind(this);
  }
 
  handleInputChange(e) {
    this.setState({
      textToCopy: e.target.value,
    });
  }
 
  Copytext() {
    copy(this.state.textToCopy);
  }
 
  render() {
    const { textToCopy, btnText } = this.state;
 
    return (
      <div className="container">
        <div class="row" className="hdr">
          <div class="col-sm-12 btn btn-info">How To Copy Text To Clipboard In React JS</div>
        </div>
 
        <div className="txt">

            placeholder="Enter Text"
            onChange={this.handleInputChange}
          />
 
          <br />
 
          <br />
 
          <button className="btn btn-info" onClick={this.Copytext}>
            Copy to Clipboard
          </button>
        </div>
      </div>
    );
  }
}
 
export default CopyBoard;

Now, Open the app.css file and add the following CSS to this file.

.txt  
{  
   margin-bottom: 20px;  
   margin-top: 20px;  
}  
 
.hdr  
{  
  margin-top: 20px;  
}  

 

 

In this step, you need to add the clipboard.js file to src/App.js the file.

import React from 'react';
import '../node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css';
import Clipboard from './Clipboard'
 
function App() {  
     
  return (  
    <div className="App">  
      <Clipboard />  
    </div>  
  );  
}  
 
export default App;
