php-cli-clipboard

Enables a clipboard API to get, set and clear the clipboard on various platforms (currently Windows and OSX).

Platform Support

Platform	Support	Reads with	Writes with
Windows	Yes ✅	Powershell script	clip.exe
OSX	Yes ✅	pbpaste	pbcopy
Linux	NO ❎

Unsupported platforms will use a MockClipboardApi api, that will mimick the clipboard, but won't actually get/set/clear anything apart from its local state.

composer require jalsoedesign/cli-clipboard
