Use

gotem is a function that accepts 3 parameters:

1. A required trigger node.
2. A required target node.
3. An optional object of callback functions.

Examples follow:

import gotem from 'gotem'
 
// a trigger and target node are required
const nodes = {
  trigger: document.getElementById('trigger'),
  target: document.getElementById('target')
}
 
// when the trigger is clicked,
// the text of the target will be copied to the clipboard
gotem(nodes.trigger, nodes.target)
 
// if an object with callback functions (success, error) is passed,
// the appropriate function, based on the result of executing the copy command, will be fired if it exists
gotem(nodes.trigger, nodes.target, {
  success: () => console.log('Copy command succeeded'),
  error: () => console.log('Copy command failed, BUT the text to copy has still been selected.')
})
