Javascript function skips navigator.clipboard.writeText and just does window.open

Time:07-15

I have the following function:

function openurl(){
navigator.clipboard.writeText("TextToCopy");
window.open('url');
}

executing in this:

<button onclick=openurl()>Openurlbutton</button>

It only opens the window and does not copy the text. I am so lost.. help :D

CodePudding user response:

navigator.clipboard.writeText is an async function. For you to work you can edit your code to the following. (https://www.w3.org/TR/clipboard-apis/#async-clipboard-api)

 async function openurl() {
      await navigator.clipboard.writeText('TextToCopy');
      window.open('url');
    }
