Read clipboard data in browser

clipboard.md

Read clipboard data in the browser.

You can paste this into devtools. Note that the clipboard API requires the document to be focused, so we wrap in a timeout. You need to switch focus to the active document before the timeout fires.

window.setTimeout(async () => {
   const contents = await navigator.clipboard.read();
   for (var i = 0; i < contents.length; i++) {
       const item = contents[i];
       const types = item.types;
       await types.forEach(async (t) => {
           const value = await item.getType(t);
           const text = await value.text();
           console.log('Type', t, 'Text', text);
       });
   }
}, 1000);
