ClipboardItem: presentationStyle property

Limited availability

This feature is not Baseline because it does not work in some of the most widely-used browsers.

Secure context: This feature is available only in secure contexts (HTTPS), in some or all supporting browsers.

The read-only presentationStyle property of the ClipboardItem interface returns a string indicating how an item should be presented.

For example, in some contexts an image might be displayed inline, while in others it might be represented as an attachment.

Value

One of either "unspecified", "inline" or "attachment".

Examples

In the below example, we're returning all items on the clipboard via the clipboard.read() method, then logging the presentationStyle property.

async function getClipboardContents() {
  try {
    const clipboardItems = await navigator.clipboard.read();

    for (const clipboardItem of clipboardItems) {
      console.log(clipboardItem.presentationStyle);
    }
  } catch (err) {
    console.error(err.name, err.message);
  }
}
