@mariozechner/clipboard

Fork of @crosscopy/clipboard

This fork updates to the latest clipboard-rs (0.3.1) and adds musl (Alpine Linux) support. All credit goes to the original authors.

NPM Package: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@mariozechner/clipboard

GitHub: https://github.com/badlogic/clipboard

This is a clipboard API npm package that allows you to copy and paste data to and from the clipboard. There doesn't seem to be a good clipboard package for node.js (that supports data format beyond text), so I decided to make one. Data Format Supported

• Text
• Image
• Rich Text Format
• Files
• HTML

Acknowledgements

• ChurchTao/clipboard-rs is written in rust, which is used to provide the native clipboard support for this package across Linux, Windows and MacOS. This package is basically a wrapper around this rust package.
  • https://crates.io/crates/clipboard-rs
• napi.rs was used to create the node.js addon for this package, so that API calls written in rust can be called from node.js.

API

Detailed API function declarations can be found in the index.d.ts.

Or you can refer to the source code in src/lib.rs.

Sample

import Clipboard from "@mariozechner/clipboard";

console.log(await Clipboard.getText());

console.log(await Clipboard.getHtml());

if (await Clipboard.hasImage()) {
  console.log(await Clipboard.getImageBase64());
} else {
  console.log("No Image");
}
