See the example.

Props

1propTypes : {
2  value : React.PropTypes.string.isRequired, // the value to be copied
3  className : React.PropTypes.string, // class to apply to the <textarea />
4  style : React.PropTypes.object, // styles if you'd like to override the defaults
5  onCopy : React.PropTypes.func // callback for when value is copied
6}

Further info

This component renders a textarea, whose value is the value prop. On keydown, if the user hasn't currently selected any text on the page and the cmd or ctrl key is pressed, then the textarea is focussed and the text inside it is selected. When the user hits the c key, the text inside the textarea is copied.

Inline styling is used to visibly hide the textarea (this can be overriden via the style prop mentioned above)
