Copy text to clipboard using Javascript. It works on Safari (iOS) and other browsers.

Clipboard.js

window.Clipboard = (function(window, document, navigator) {
    var textArea,
        copy;

    function isOS() {
        return navigator.userAgent.match(/ipad|iphone/i);
    }

    function createTextArea(text) {
        textArea = document.createElement('textArea');
        textArea.value = text;
        document.body.appendChild(textArea);
    }

    function selectText() {
        var range,
            selection;

        if (isOS()) {
            range = document.createRange();
            range.selectNodeContents(textArea);
            selection = window.getSelection();
            selection.removeAllRanges();
            selection.addRange(range);
            textArea.setSelectionRange(0, 999999);
        } else {
            textArea.select();
        }
    }

    function copyToClipboard() {        
        document.execCommand('copy');
        document.body.removeChild(textArea);
    }

    copy = function(text) {
        createTextArea(text);
        selectText();
        copyToClipboard();
    };

    return {
        copy: copy
    };
})(window, document, navigator);

Clipboard.copy('text to be copied');

When clicked on iphone the viewport scrow down to focus my input (another input I'm using on the site). Any idea to prevent this?

hey, I used the hacky way of positioning the element out of page flow.

position: absolute;
top: -9999px

@torben3d using this page is scrolled at the top :)

On iphones, to prevent keypad popup and zooming to input, use readonly attirbute on textarea

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

Is there a way to use this to copy multiple text boxes? From a form or something along those lines?

Looks like it's not working on safari 13...

Only support iOS>=10 .
