About the Tutorial
Wix released the Copy to Clipboard function. This function will allow a User to copy text onto their device's clipboard. (See a copy of their code in the image below.) This tutorial will show you how to take the example code Wix provided, and modify it by using 3 different methods of real use-case scenarios.

Method #1
Copy Text from a Regular Page
In our example, we used the following elements with the following ID names:
1 Button Element to click to copy / #clickToCopy
1 Text Element to display after copy function is successful / #successCopy
1 Text Element to display the text we want to copy / #text2copy
1 User Input Text Element to paste copied code / #checkCopy
1 Text Element to display success message if copy matches / #itWorked
1 Text Element to display failure message if copy does not match / #sorry
We used the properties panel to make sure the success and failure text elements were set to 'hidden on load'.

The Code
import wixWindow from 'wix-window';
let copyFunction;
let true;
$w.onReady(function () {
$w("#clickToCopy").onClick((event) => {
let text = $w('#text2copy').text;
wixWindow.copyToClipboard(text)
.then(() => {
$w('#successCopy').show();
})
.catch((err) => {
console.log(err)
});
});
//If you do not require the person to paste the copied text onto your page, then you can delete the code between here .....
$w("#checkCopy").onKeyPress((event) => {
let key = event.key;
$w('#sorry').hide();
$w('#itWorked').hide();
if (key === "Enter") {
console.log("Pressed Enter key on Password field"); //You can change the text of this line or delete it
let toCheck = $w("#text2copy").text;
let theCopied = $w("#checkCopy").value;
if (toCheck === theCopied) {
$w('#itWorked').show();
$w('#sorry').hide();
} else {
$w('#sorry').show();
$w('#itWorked').hide();
}
} else {
console.log("Did not press Enter key."); //You can change the text of this line or delete it
}
});
//.....and up to here. Do not delete the last line.
});
Method #2
Copy Text from a Repeater
In our example, we used the following elements with the following ID names:
1 dataset connected to restaurant database collection / #dataset1
1 repeater element / #repeater1
1 Button Element to click to copy promo code / #copyPromo
1 Button Element to click to copy email / #copyEmail
1 Button Element to link to dynamic page / #readMore
1 Text Element to display after copy function is successful / #copy1
1 Text Element to display after copy function is successful / #copy2
