clipboard not working

[cpt-n3mo]

using latest dioxus
and latest dioxuss-clipboard

let mut cb = use_clipboard();
let a = cb.set("Something".to_string());

// result
assert_eq(Ok(()), a);
assert_eq(Ok("".to_string()). cb.get());

// expected
assert_eq(Ok(()),a);
assert_eq(Ok("Something".to_string()), cb.get())

I am not sure if the clipboard is automatically written, that might make the get() method still give you an outdated value. Have you tried and then some time later reading it?

jup tried that as well..
but this seems to be a upstream problem,
i just tried this with copypasta and it does not work either on X11

[cpt-n3mo]

Ok it seems that X11-clipboard that is used by copypasta which is used by use_clipboard only work server side
so this does not work inside of a component, only in a server function, and only for as long as the context lives. else clipboard will be blank

this might be something to add to the docs.

kind regards

using the web-sys crate one can use the clipboard inside a client side component.

let cb = web_sys::window().unwrap().navigator().clipboard();
cb.write_text("Working");

It already says that only native renderers are supported https://github.com/dioxus-community/dioxus-clipboard?tab=readme-ov-file#support 😄
