Instance API

In addition to the above static API, there is an instance API exposed:

cs
Clipboard clipboard = new();
clipboard.SetText("Text to place in clipboard");

Dependency Injection

An instance of

Clipboard

IServiceCollection

cs
serviceCollection.InjectClipboard();

The instance should be injected by using

IClipboard

There is also a

InjectMockClipboard

MockClipboard

Blazor WebAssembly

Due to the dependency on

JSInterop

ClipboardService

Instead inject an

IClipboard

cs
var builder = WebAssemblyHostBuilder.CreateDefault();
var serviceCollection = builder.Services;
serviceCollection.InjectClipboard();
builder.RootComponents.Add("app");

Then consume it:

```cs public partial class IndexModel : ComponentBase { [Inject] public IClipboard Clipboard { get; set; }

public string Content { get; set; }

public Task CopyTextToClipboard()
{
    return Clipboard.SetTextAsync(Content);
}
public async Task ReadTextFromClipboard()
{
    Content = await Clipboard.GetTextAsync();
}

} ``` <sup>snippet source | anchor</sup> <!-- endSnippet -->

Blazor support requires the browser APIs clipboard.readText and clipboard.writeText.

Linux

Linux uses xsel to access the clipboard. As such it needs to be installed and callable.
