[pdm-devel] [PATCH yew-comp v2 1/2] utils/tfa add recover/token panel: add copy_text_to_clipboard function

[Lukas Wagner]

The 'utils' module is getting quite large by now with many different
kinds of helpers, maybe it is time to actually start splitting these out
into distinct modules? For instance, in this patch series,
you could create a new 'clipboard' module, moving *both* functions there
and then adding a 'pub use' in 'utils' for the old, deprecated function
for compatibility?

Apart from this and the minor nit below, consider this:

Missing doc comments for a `pub` function.
