ClipboardEvent: clipboardData property

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since March 2017.

The clipboardData property of the ClipboardEvent interface holds a DataTransfer object, which can be used to:

specify what data should be put into the clipboard from the cut and copy event handlers, typically with a setData(format, data) call;
obtain the data to be pasted from the paste event handler, typically with a getData(format) call.

See the cut, copy, and paste events documentation for more information.

Value

The property can be null when the event is created using the constructor. It is never null when dispatched by the browser.
