Package Exports

clipboard

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (clipboard) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

node-clipboard

Easy to use utility for reading and writing to the system clipboard.

usage

npm install clipboard

var clipboard = require('clipboard');

// _Read_
var fromClipboard = clipboard.read();     // defaults to ascii
fromClipboard = clipboard.read('bitmap'); // buffer
fromClipboard = clipboard.readAll();      // all formats

// _Write_
clipboard.write('some text');
clipboard.write([
    { format: 'ascii', value: 'some text' },
    { format: 'unicode', value: '\u1059\u0000etc' },
    { format: 'bitmap', value: someBuffer }
]);

// _Clear_
clipboard.clear();

// _Iterate_

// clipboard.formats() is a shortcut for:

var formats = clipboard.iterate(function(format, formatName, isCustom){
    return formatName;
});



// _JavaScript Objects_

// copies a v8 handle to the clipboard, not serialized
// also copies in the util.inspect text into 'ascii'
clipboard.write({ realJSObject: true });

// this will CRASH node if you try to paste it into another node process
var obj = clipboard.read('jsobject');
