The expo-clipboard package provides a simple API for interacting with the clipboard in React Native applications. It allows you to copy text to the clipboard and read text from the clipboard, making it useful for a variety of applications that require clipboard functionality.
Copy text to clipboard
This feature allows you to copy a string of text to the clipboard. The code sample demonstrates how to use the setStringAsync method to copy 'Hello, World!' to the clipboard.
import * as Clipboard from 'expo-clipboard';
async function copyToClipboard() {
await Clipboard.setStringAsync('Hello, World!');
console.log('Text copied to clipboard');
}Read text from clipboard
This feature allows you to read a string of text from the clipboard. The code sample demonstrates how to use the getStringAsync method to read the text currently stored in the clipboard.
import * as Clipboard from 'expo-clipboard';
async function readFromClipboard() {
const text = await Clipboard.getStringAsync();
console.log('Text from clipboard:', text);
}The react-native-clipboard package provides similar functionality for interacting with the clipboard in React Native applications. It allows you to copy text to the clipboard and read text from the clipboard. Compared to expo-clipboard, it offers a more traditional approach without the need for the Expo ecosystem.
The react-native-clipboard-plus package extends the basic clipboard functionalities by adding support for images and URLs, in addition to text. This makes it more versatile compared to expo-clipboard, which primarily focuses on text.
