# How to create ClipboardItem with DOMString | ||
**Last updated: October, 2024** | ||
|
||
ClipboardItem constructor extends support to string data. ClipboardItem data can now be a blob, a string, or a promise that resolves to either a blob or a string. | ||
|
||
The feature is available in Chromium-based browsers in M132 or later behind the flag `ClipboardItemWithDOMStringSupport` | ||
|
||
1. Download Microsoft Edge ([Canary Channel](https://www.microsoftedgeinsider.com/en-us/download/canary)). | ||
2. Launch Edge with the command line flag `--enable-blink-features=ClipboardItemWithDOMStringSupport`. | ||
|
||
This enhancement allows web authors to directly write text data to the clipboard as a string, without needing to create a blob. | ||
|
||
```javascript | ||
const data = new ClipboardItem({ | ||
"text/plain": "Hello World", // DOMString | ||
"text/html": Promise.resolve("<h1>Hello World</h1>") // Promise<DOMString> | ||
}); | ||
``` | ||
|
||
If the flag is not enabled, a blob is required for the same. | ||
|
||
```javascript | ||
const data = new ClipboardItem({ | ||
"text/plain": new Blob(["Hello World"], {type: 'text/plain'}), | ||
"text/html": new Blob(["<h1>Hello World</h1>"], {type: 'text/html'}) | ||
}); | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Here is an example of writing a ClipboardItem with different supported data types. | ||
|
||
## Example | ||
|
||
```javascript | ||
async function writeToClipboard() { | ||
try { | ||
const plain_string = "Hello World"; | ||
const html_string_promise = Promise.resolve("<h1>Hello World</h1>"); | ||
const png_blob_promise = await fetch("/url/to/a/png/image").blob(); | ||
|
||
const data = new ClipboardItem({ | ||
"text/plain": plain_string, | ||
"text/html": html_string_promise, | ||
"image/png": png_blob_promise | ||
}); | ||
|
||
await navigator.clipboard.write([data]); | ||
console.log('Data copied to clipboard'); | ||
} catch (e) { | ||
console.error(e.message); | ||
} | ||
} | ||
``` |
