How to implement paste using a button in javascript/Jquery or any front end library?

Question

Consider an editable Textarea. I have selected only 2 lines out of 5 lines & copied the some text using my button and I want to paste the text when paste button is clicked.

I tried using document.execCommand('paste'). Which is not working due to security issues in browsers.

How to implement paste using a button in javascript/Jquery or any front end library. Copy is working fine but paste using a button is not at all working.

Many cameup with solutions explaining pasting of all the content in textarea Remember that I need the text which got copied not the entire textarea

Why not set the `value` of textarea or input wit the copied text? — adiga, Feb 27 '19 at 08:02

A quick search and I stumbled upon this post You could try using a button that runs window.clipboardData.getData('Text') and use the output to put in your textArea.
