How can i copy a text from a JavaScript variable directly to clipboard (without use an html text area)?

I'm already tried this:

function fxCopyToClipboard() {

    var varText = "TEXT FOR PASTE";

    varText.select();
    varText.execCommand("copy");

}

<button type="button" onclick="fxCopyToClipboard();">To Clipboard</button>

You can't select JS variables, you've add the text to a textarea element, and select the text from the element. – Teemu Feb 28 '20 at 11:12
Ok, i thought that could be a simple way to do this. TY – Jaakko Feb 28 '20 at 11:33
