-### Core functionality
+### Asynchronous Clipboard API
 
-A very common need when building websites is the ability to copy text to clipboard with a single button click. Javascript can easily do this in five short steps:
+A very common need when building websites is the ability to copy text to clipboard with a single button click. If you only need to support modern browsers, it's highly recommended to use the asynchronous [Clipboard API](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Clipboard_API). It's supported in all modern browsers and provides an easy and secure way to update the clipboard's contents.
 
-1. Create a` <textarea>` element to be appended to the document. Set its value to the string that we want to copy to the clipboard.
-2. Append said `<textarea>` element to the current HTML document.
-3. Use `HTMLInputElement.select()` to select the contents of the `<textarea>` element.
-4. Use `Document.execCommand('copy')` to copy the contents of the `<textarea>` to the clipboard.
-5. Remove the `<textarea>` element from the document.
-
-The simplest version of this method looks something like this:
+All you have to do is ensure `Navigator`, `Navigator.clipboard` and `Navigator.clipboard.writeText` are truthy and then call `Clipboard.writeText()` to copy the value to clipboard. In case anything goes wrong, you can use `Promise.reject()` to return a promise that rejects immediately and keep the return type consistent.
 
 ```js
 const copyToClipboard = str => {
-  const el = document.createElement('textarea');
-  el.value = str;
-  document.body.appendChild(el);
-  el.select();
-  document.execCommand('copy');
-  document.body.removeChild(el);
+  if (navigator && navigator.clipboard && navigator.clipboard.writeText)
+    return navigator.clipboard.writeText(str);
+  return Promise.reject('The Clipboard API is not available.');
 };
 ```
 
-Bear in mind that this method will not work everywhere, but only as a result of a user action (e.g. inside a `click` event listener), due to the way `Document.execCommand()` works.
+This is pretty much how the [copyToClipboardAsync snippet](/js/s/copy-to-clipboard-async) is implemented and should work across all modern browsers.
 
-### Hide the appended element
+### Document.execCommand('copy')
 
-The above method, while functional, might have some issues such as flashing when appending and removing the `<textarea>`, a problem that is even more apparent when considering accessibility. A major improvement to this method comes from adding some CSS to make the element invisible and restrict editing by users:
+While support for the Clipboard API is pretty high across the board, you might need a fallback if you have to support older browsers. If that's the case, you can use `Document.execCommand('copy')` to do so. Here's a quick step-by-step guide:
+
+1. Create a` <textarea>` element to be appended to the document. Set its value to the string you want to copy to the clipboard.
+2. Append the `<textarea>` element to the current HTML document and use CSS to hide it to prevent flashing.
+3. Use `HTMLInputElement.select()` to select the contents of the `<textarea>` element.
+4. Use `Document.execCommand('copy')` to copy the contents of the `<textarea>` to the clipboard.
+5. Remove the `<textarea>` element from the document.

-### Save and restore the original document's selection
+Bear in mind that this method will not work everywhere, but only as a result of a user action (e.g. inside a `click` event listener), due to the way `Document.execCommand()` works.
 
-The final consideration before wrapping this up is respecting the user's previous interaction with the website, like having already selected some content. Luckily, we can now use some modern Javascript methods and properties like `DocumentOrShadowRoot.getSelection()`, `Selection.rangeCount`, `Selection.getRangeAt()`, `Selection.removeAllRanges()` and `Selection.addRange()` to save and restore the original document selection. You can find the final code with these improvements implemented in the [copyToClipboard snippet](/js/s/copy-to-clipboard/).
