Hi Guys,
I’m trying to intercept the paste event and update the clipboard text using navigator.clipboard.writeText(). But it is not pasting the updated text. I have tried a lot of ways but the result it is same. it seems like even though the clipboard is updating, it is pasting the old text. I provided the code I’m using below. Any help would be highly appreaciated. Thank you
handlePaste = async (event) => {
if(!this.haveClipboardAccess) {
event.preventDefault();
event.stopPropagation();
} else {
event.preventDefault();
try {
await navigator.clipboard.writeText(this.clipboard);
const updatedClipboard = await navigator.clipboard.readText();
console.log(“updated clipboard”, updatedClipboard);
return true;
} catch (err) {
console.error(“Can’t access clipboard.”,err);
event.preventDefault();
event.stopPropagation();
}
}
}
