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.

Prerequisites:

• NodeJS or NPM
• React JS
• Phases of JavaScript Event

Syntax:

<element onCopyCapture={function}/>

Steps to Create the React Application:

Step 1: Create a react project folder, open the terminal, and write the command.

npm create-react-app project

The updated dependencies in package.json file will look like:

"dependencies": {
    "react": "^18.2.0",
    "react-dom": "^18.2.0",
    "react-scripts": "5.0.1",
    "web-vitals": "^2.1.4",
}

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”.

Javascript

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.
