react-copy-mailto

A fully customizable React component for copying email from mailto links.

Motivation

The one thing we all can agree on that we hate it when the default mail app pops up after clicking on the mailto links. Most of the time we just want to copy the email address and that's where this module comes into play. Big shout out to Kuldar whose tweet thread inspired us to build this.

Demo

Installation and Usage

The easiest way to use this library is to install it via yarn or npm

yarn add react-copy-mailto

npm install react-copy-mailto

Then just use it in your app:

import React from "react";

const YourComponent = () => (
    <div>
        <CopyMailTo email="email@domain.com" />
    </div>
);
