Click button copy to clipboard using jQuery

Question

How do I copy the text inside a div to the clipboard? I have a div and need to add a link which will add the text to the clipboard. Is there a solution for this?

As of 2020, you should use the Clipboard Api.

navigator.clipboard.writeText('text here you want to copy').then(function () {
    alert('It worked! Do a CTRL - V to paste')
}, function () {
    alert('Failure to copy. Check permissions for clipboard')
});
