Class Clipboard

Provides access to the OpenFin representation of the current code context (usually a document such as a View or Window), as well as to the current Interop context.

Useful for debugging in the devtools console, where this will intelligently type itself based on the context in which the devtools panel was opened.

Reads available formats for the clipboard type

Example

fin.Clipboard.getAvailableFormats().then(formats => console.log(formats)).catch(err => console.log(err));
Copy

Read the content of the clipboard as Html

Example

fin.Clipboard.readHtml().then(html => console.log(html)).catch(err => console.log(err));
Copy

Read the content of the clipboard as a base64 string or a dataURL based on the input parameter 'format', defaults to 'dataURL'

Example

// see TS type: OpenFin.ImageFormatOptions

const pngOrDataURLOrBmpOptions = {
    format: 'png', // can be: 'png' | 'dataURL' | 'bmp'
};

const jpgOptions = {
    format: 'jpg',
    quality: 80 // optional, if omitted defaults to 100
};

fin.Clipboard.readImage(pngOrDataURLOrBmpOptions)
    .then(image => console.log('Image read from clipboard as PNG, DataURL or BMP', image))
    .catch(err => console.log(err));

fin.Clipboard.readImage(jpgOptions)
    .then(image => console.log('Image read from clipboard as JPG', image))
    .catch(err => console.log(err));

// defaults to {format: 'dataURL'}
fin.Clipboard.readImage()
    .then(image => console.log('Image read from clipboard as DataURL', image))
    .catch(err => console.log(err));

Copy

Read the content of the clipboard as Rtf

Example

const writeObj = {
    data: 'some text goes here'
};
async function readRtf() {
    await fin.Clipboard.writeRtf(writeObj);
    return await fin.Clipboard.readRtf();
}
readRtf().then(rtf => console.log(rtf)).catch(err => console.log(err));
Copy

Read the content of the clipboard as plain text

Example

fin.Clipboard.readText().then(text => console.log(text)).catch(err => console.log(err));
Copy

Writes data into the clipboard

Example

fin.Clipboard.write({
  data: {
    text: 'a',
    html: 'b',
    rtf: 'c',
    // Can be either a base64 string, or a DataURL string. If using DataURL, the
    // supported formats are `data:image/png[;base64],` and `data:image/jpeg[;base64],`.
    // Using other image/<format> DataURLs will throw an Error.
    image: '...'
  }
}).then(() => console.log('write data into clipboard')).catch(err => console.log(err));
Copy
