copyToClipboard

copyToClipboard(s) calls navigator.clipboard.writeText and swallows errors. Part of pota/use/string.

Arguments

Argument	Type	Description
s	string	The text to write.

Returns: Promise<void> that always resolves — write errors are caught and ignored.

Examples

Copy button

A button that copies fixed text to the clipboard. copyToClipboard returns a promise that resolves once the write completes, so you can flip a "copied" flag when it settles.

import { render, signal } from 'pota'
import { copyToClipboard } from 'pota/use/string'

function App() {
	const copied = signal(false)

	const copy = async () => {
		await copyToClipboard('hello from pota')
		copied.write(true)
	}

	return (
		<button on:click={copy}>
			{() => (copied.read() ? 'Copied!' : 'Copy')}
		</button>
	)
}
