I am trying to copy value of a variable to clipboard which is coming from ajax response. I have searched about it and find lot of threads, but issue is everyone asking to use input for value selection using JavaScript select() function. Following script I am trying which does not works,

success:function(data)
{
    var copyText = data.geturl;
    document.execCommand("copy");
    alert("Copied the text: " + copyText);

    return false;
}

Can someone kindly guide me that is there any way to copy value of variable to clipboard without using input? I would like to appreciate.

Thank you so much.

    i would advise to only copy to clipboard using user input. since usually you don't want to overwrite the clipboard without the users permission. I am interested in the answer tho. – JanWillem Huising Aug 29 '18 at 14:12

  • According to the [Moz Docs](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Document/execCommand#Browser_compatibility) `document.execCommand("copy")` is deprecated. I believe you should be using the [clipboard API](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Clipboard) instead - although support here looks even worse. Looks like implementation varies, safer to go with user initiated? – FranCarstens Aug 29 '18 at 14:38

After some research i think it is not possible to copy information to the clipboard without user input due to security restrictions imposed by browser vendors.

Copy to Cliboard

But this will not work for me. I thought you might be able to find something from this
