create a function that gets the clipboard value then sets it to local storage in javascript

To create a function that gets the clipboard value and sets it to local storage, you can use the Clipboard API and the Local Storage API in JavaScript. Here's an example code block that should work:

index.tsx
function setClipboardToLocalStorage() {
  // get clipboard value
  navigator.clipboard.readText().then(function(clipboardValue) {
    // set clipboard value to local storage
    localStorage.setItem('clipboardValue', clipboardValue);
  });
}
242 chars
8 lines

In this function, we first use the navigator.clipboard.readText() method to read the clipboard value. We then set this value to local storage using the localStorage.setItem() method, with the key 'clipboardValue'.

You can call this function whenever you want to set the current clipboard value to local storage.
