store clipboard in variable and set that variable to local storage in javascript

To store the clipboard content in a variable and then set that variable to local storage in JavaScript, you can use the built-in Clipboard API and Local Storage API.

First, you need to access the clipboard content by using the navigator.clipboard.readText() method. This method returns a Promise that resolves with the clipboard contents as a string.

Then you can set the clipboard content to a variable and store it in local storage using the localStorage.setItem() method.

Here's an example code snippet that demonstrates the process:

index.tsx
// read clipboard content
navigator.clipboard.readText()
  .then(text => {
    // set clipboard content to a variable
    const clipboardContent = text;
    
    // store clipboard content in local storage
    localStorage.setItem('clipboard', clipboardContent);
  })
  .catch(err => console.error('Failed to read clipboard contents: ', err));

In the above code snippet, we first read the clipboard contents using the navigator.clipboard.readText() method. Once we get the contents, we set it to a variable named clipboardContent. We then use the localStorage.setItem() method to store this variable value in the 'clipboard' key of the local storage.
