navigator.clipboard limitations

Due to security reasons use-clipboard hook will not work in iframes and may not work with local files opened with file:// protocol (hook will work fine with local websites that are using http:// protocol). You can learn more about navigator.clipboard here.

API

use-clipboard hook accepts one argument options in which copied status timeout duration is defined (defaults to 2000). Hook returns object with properties:

  • copy – function to copy value to the clipboard
  • copied – value that indicates that copy handler was called less than options.timeout ms ago
  • reset – function to clear timeout and reset copied to false
  • error – contains Error object if something goes wrong

  copy: (valueToCopy: any) => void;
  reset: () => void;
  error: Error;
  copied: boolean;
};
