# nu_plugin_clipboard

A [nushell](https://www.nushell.sh/) plugin to copy text into clipboard or get text from it.

* `clipboard copy`: copy a text that's given as input

  * `--{disable or enable}-daemon` (`-d`): spawn a daemon that manages clipboard (if copy is not working try using this flag)

* `clipboard paste`: returns current text value of clipboard

## Examples

* to copy a string (ONLY string for now)

```bash

~> echo "test value" | clipboard copy 

```

* to use a string that is in clipboard

```bash

~> clipboard paste | echo $in

```

* in order to copy tables please convert them to text format like JSON, YAML, ...

  * you are able to paste them as tables again using `clipboard paste | from json`

```bash

~> $env | to json | clipboard copy

~> clipboard paste | from json

~> ps | to json | clipboard copy

~> clipboard paste | from json

```

## Installing

* using [nupm](https://github.com/nushell/nupm) **Recommended!**

  * this way you don't need to mess with features and it will install required features

```bash

git clone https://github.com/FMotalleb/nu_plugin_clipboard.git

nupm install --path nu_plugin_clipboard -f

```

* supported features:

  * **use-wayland**: will prioritize wayland api but will falls back to X11 protocol on error

  * **enforce-daemon**: force copy command to spawn a daemon and revert the functionality of `--daemon` flag

* or compile manually

```bash

git clone https://github.com/FMotalleb/nu_plugin_clipboard.git

cd nu_plugin_clipboard

cargo build -r

plugin add target/release/nu_plugin_clipboard

```

* or using cargo

```bash

cargo install nu_plugin_clipboard
