jquery - Javascript Copy To Clipboard on safari?

Question

It may be duplicate question but i didnt find the solution for this.

I am trying to copy text on button click. Its working on chrome, mozilla(working on on windows and mac but not on linux). And its not working on safari.

I am using document.execCommand("copy") command for copy.

Is safari support this command?

Is there any way which will supports to all browsers?

Please check my solution.

It works on Safari (tested on iPhone 7 and iPad) and on other browsers.

window.Clipboard = (function(window, document, navigator) {
    var textArea,
        copy;

    function isOS() {
        return navigator.userAgent.match(/ipad|iphone/i);
    }

    function createTextArea(text) {
        textArea = document.createElement('textArea');
        textArea.value = text;
        document.body.appendChild(textArea);
    }

    function selectText() {
        var range,
            selection;

        if (isOS()) {
            range = document.createRange();
            range.selectNodeContents(textArea);
            selection = window.getSelection();
            selection.removeAllRanges();
            selection.addRange(range);
            textArea.setSelectionRange(0, 999999);
        } else {
            textArea.select();
        }
    }

    function copyToClipboard() {        
        document.execCommand('copy');
        document.body.removeChild(textArea);
    }

    copy = function(text) {
        createTextArea(text);
        selectText();
        copyToClipboard();
    };

    return {
        copy: copy
    };
})(window, document, navigator);

// How to use
Clipboard.copy('text to be copied');
