Clipboard API Events

[Mahmoud Galal]

Hello 

I wonder why there's no Event that fire, on a clipboard changes?

the existed events, are available only on copy, and paste

most buttons that copy content in the clipboard, uses the writeText() method

which doesn't fire any of the available events

so how about having a event about the changed that happen to the clipboard, on a writeText, or even just onChange

and if it possible, how can I contribute to impelement it ?

You can do something like

navigator.clipboard.addEventListener('writetext', (e) => {
  console.log(e);
});
var text = '123';
addEventListener('click', async () => {
  await navigator.clipboard.writeText(text)
    .then(() => navigator.clipboard.dispatchEvent(new CustomEvent('writetext', {detail:{textWrittenToClipboard:text}}))
    ).catch(console.error);
}, {once: true});

Note that all of this is out of scope on this mailing list. As far as V8 is concerned, typeof navigator === "undefined".

So where I could look for that ?

I think Jakob Kummerow is saying this particular board doesn't want to deal with this question. 

Since navigator.clipboard inherits from Event you can attach an event listener directly to the object and fire your own custom event.

How can I do that for Clipboard change, as I don't have access to this

[guest271314]

You will have to implement firing the custom change event yourself. You can do that at the browser of OS level.
