clipboard-monitor

Monitor your clipboard

This module helps you monitor your clipboard by firing ('copy') events whenever something is copied onto the clipboard.

It wraps around the awesome clipboardy module.

Install

npm i --save clipboard-monitor

Use

const clipMonit = require('clipboard-monitor');

//initialize & optionally set the interval with which to monitor the clipboard

var monitor = clipMonit(500);

/*
NOTE: interval defaults to 500ms so you can simply initialize using:
    'monitor = clipMonit()';
*/


//now monitor your events...

//'copy. event is fired every time data is copied to the clipboard
monitor.on('copy', function (data) {
    //do something with the data
    console.log(data);
});


//Stop the monitoring the clipboard
monitor.end();

ToDo

I would love to incorporate the ability to monitor file copies & dump/capture the file name/buffer data. Does anyone know how to do this? Or a module that achieves something similar?
