What is onCopyCapture Event in ReactJS ?

React onCopyCapture is an event handler that gets triggered whenever we copy the text on the webpage. like onCopy, but the difference is that onCopyCapture acts in the capture phase whereas onBlur acts in the bubbling phase i.e. phases of an event.

Prerequisite:

Syntax:

<element onCopyCapture={function}/>

Creating React Application:

Step 1: Create a react project folder, for that open the terminal, and write the command npm create-react-app folder name. Suppose you have already installed create-react-app globally. If you haven’t, install create-react-app globally using the command npm -g create-react-app or install locally by npm i create-react-app.

npm create-react-app project

Step 2: After creating your project folder(i.e. project), move to it using the following command.

cd project

Project Structure: It will look like this:

 

Example: In this example, we are putting a text within a <p> tag that is “Copy this Text”. After the element gets rendered whenever we copy the text, the onCopyCapture event calls the onCopyCaptureHandler a function that will show a text “copied”.

App.js




function App() {
  const onCopyCaptureHandler = () => {
    console.log("copied");
  };
  return (
    <div className="App">
      <h1> Hey Geek!</h1>
      <p onCopyCapture={onCopyCaptureHandler}>
        Copy this text!
      </p>
  
    </div>
  );
}
  
export default App;


Step to Run Application: Run the application using the following command from the root directory of the project.

npm start
