copypasta is a rust-clipboard fork, adding support for the Wayland clipboard.
rust-clipboard is a cross-platform library for getting and setting the contents of the OS-level clipboard.
extern crate copypasta;
use copypasta::{ClipboardContext, ClipboardProvider};
fn main() {
let mut ctx = ClipboardContext::new().unwrap();
let msg = "Hello, world!";
ctx.set_contents(msg.to_owned()).unwrap();
let content = ctx.get_contents().unwrap();
println!("{}", content);
}The ClipboardProvider trait has the following functions:
fn get_contents(&mut self) -> Result<String, Box<Error>>;
fn set_contents(&mut self, String) -> Result<(), Box<Error>>;ClipboardContext is a type alias for one of {WindowsClipboardContext, OSXClipboardContext, X11ClipboardContext, NopClipboardContext}, all of which implement ClipboardProvider. Which concrete type is chosen for ClipboardContext depends on the OS (via conditional compilation).
