Methods

read():Promise<DataTransfer>

Requests arbitrary data (such as images) from the clipboard, returning a Promise. When the data has been retrieved, the promise is resolved with a DataTransfer object that provides the data.

Throws:

null	DOMError

readText():Promise<String>

Requests text from the system clipboard; returns a Promise which is resolved with a DOMString containing the clipboard's text once it's available.

Throws:

null	DOMError

write(data:DataTransfer):Promise<Void>

Writes arbitrary data to the system clipboard. This asynchronous operation signals that it's finished by resolving the returned Promise.

Throws:

null	DOMError

writeText(data:String):Promise<Void>

Writes text to the system clipboard, returning a Promise which is resolved once the text is fully copied into the clipboard.

Throws:

null	DOMError
