Yarn

yarn run tauri add clipboard-manager

pnpm

pnpm tauri add clipboard-manager

Cargo

cargo tauri add clipboard-manager

2. Modify lib.rs to initialize the plugin:

#[cfg_attr(mobile, tauri::mobile_entry_point)]
pub fn run() {
    tauri::Builder::default()
        // Initialize the plugin
        .plugin(tauri_plugin_clipboard_manager::init())
        .run(tauri::generate_context!())
        .expect("error while running tauri application");
}

Manual

1. Run cargo add tauri-plugin-clipboard-manager to add the plugin to the project’s dependencies in Cargo.toml.

2. Modify lib.rs to initialize the plugin:

lib.rs

#[cfg_attr(mobile, tauri::mobile_entry_point)]
pub fn run() {
    tauri::Builder::default()
        // Initialize the plugin
        .plugin(tauri_plugin_clipboard_manager::init())
        .run(tauri::generate_context!())
        .expect("error while running tauri application");
}

3. If you’d like to manage the clipboard in JavaScript then install the npm package as well:

npm

npm install @tauri-apps/plugin-clipboard-manager

Yarn

yarn add @tauri-apps/plugin-clipboard-manager

pnpm

pnpm add @tauri-apps/plugin-clipboard-manager

Usage

The clipboard plugin is available in both JavaScript and Rust.

JavaScript

import { writeText, readText } from '@tauri-apps/plugin-clipboard-manager';

// Write content to clipboard
await writeText('Tauri is awesome!');

// Read content from clipboard
const content = await readText();
console.log(content);
// Prints "Tauri is awesome!" to the console

Rust

use tauri_plugin_clipboard_manager::ClipboardExt;

// Write content to clipboard
let clipboard_content = tauri_plugin_clipboard_manager::ClipKind::PlainText {
    label: Some("Label".to_string()),
    text: "Tauri is awesome!".to_string(),
};
app.clipboard().write(clipboard_content).unwrap();

// Read content from clipboard
let content = app.clipboard().read();
println!("{:?}", content.unwrap());
// Prints "Tauri is awesome!" to the terminal
