I use fetch to get some text and put this text into textarea. Then I select the text and trying to copy it, but it's not working. Here's the code.
const copy_text_from_file = (filename) => {
fetch('/texts/show/?filename=' + filename, {
credentials: 'include'
}).then(function(response) {
return response.json();
}).then(function(json) {
const textarea = document.getElementById('clipboard');
textarea.focus();
textarea.innerHTML = json.content;
textarea.select();
console.log( document.execCommand('copy') ); // writes false to console
});
};
Text is inserted and textarea is selected and is in focus, but nothing is copied. When I run document.execCommand('copy') from browser's console it works. I tried adding timeouts but it doesn't help. I tried adding button with click event listener and trigger button with click() to copy selected text, but it doen't help either.
PS Textarea is visible.
