You read that right. ``` use Laragear\Clipboard\Facades\Clipboard; public function foo() { Clipboard::copy('test'); } public function bar() { Clipboard::paste(); // 'test' } ``` Become a sponsor ---------------- [](#become-a-sponsor) [![](.github/assets/support.png)](https://github.com/sponsors/DarkGhostHunter) Your support allows me to keep this package free, up-to-date and maintainable. Alternatively, you can **[spread the word!](http://twitter.com/share?text=I%20am%20using%20this%20cool%20PHP%20package&url=https://github.com%2FLaragear%2FClipboard&hashtags=PHP,Laravel,FoolsDay)** Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - PHP 8 or later - Laravel 9, 10 or later Installation ------------ [](#installation) You can install the package via composer: ``` composer require laragear/clipboard ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) The Clipboard works like your normal clipboard in your application. MethodDescription`copy()`Copies a value into the clipboard.`cut()`Moves a value into the clipboard, assigning it `null` on the current context.`clone()`Clones an object into the clipboard.`paste()`Pastes a value previously copied in the clipboard.`pull()`Pastes a value previously copied, removing it from the Clipboard.`clear()`Clears the clipboard value.Using the Clipboard to move around values inside the application allows you to avoid registering things into the Service Container unnecessarily, or moving a value around using functions or the cache. ### Copy and paste [](#copy-and-paste) Copying a value will copy the reference of the object, or the value if is a primitive like a `string`, `int` or an `array`, among others. It works like any other function. ``` use Laragear\Clipboard\Facades\Clipboard; use App\Models\Article; $article = Article::find(5); // Copy a value Clipboard::copy($article); // Edit the reference after has been copied. $article->title = 'The new title!'; ``` Pasting will paste the value how many times you want. It accepts a default value in case the clipboard is empty. ``` // Paste a value Clipboard::paste()->title; // 'The new title' ``` #### Clone [](#clone) Sometimes you may want to actually *clone* the object instead of copy its reference. For these cases, use the `clone()` method. ``` use Laragear\Clipboard\Facades\Clipboard; use App\Models\Article; $article = Article::make(['title' => 'Original title']); // Clone an object Clipboard::clone($article); ``` Since it's a clone, the original variable will be different from the one pasted afterward. ``` $article->title = 'Different title'; echo Clipboard::paste()->title; // "Original title" ``` ### Cut and pull [](#cut-and-pull) Cut works like copy, but the value in the current context will be assigned `null`. ``` use Laragear\Clipboard\Facades\Clipboard; $article = 'This is a big wall of text.'; // Cut a value Clipboard::cut($article); echo $article; // '' ``` Meanwhile, `pull()`, will retrieve the value from the Clipboard and remove it from there. It accepts a default value in case the clipboard is empty. ``` use Laragear\Clipboard\Facades\Clipboard; $text = Clipboard::pull(); echo $text; // 'This is a big wall of text.' ``` ### Clearing [](#clearing) You can clear the Clipboard anytime using `clear()`: ``` use Laragear\Clipboard\Facades\Clipboard; Clipboard::copy('I am going to dissapear.'); Clipboard::clear(); echo Clipboard::paste(); // '' ``` ### Method pass-through [](#method-pass-through) For your convenience, you don't need to retrieve the Clipboard object to do something. The Clipboard will pass through all methods calls to the copied or cloned object. ``` use Laragear\Clipboard\Facades\Clipboard; use App\Models\Article; $article = Article::make(['title' => 'Original title']); // Copy a value Clipboard::copy($article); // Some lines after... Clipboard::save(); ``` How this works? --------------- [](#how-this-works) It just registers a singleton that holds a value during the life of the request, or the entirety of the command. That's it. Laravel Octane compatibility ---------------------------- [](#laravel-octane-compatibility) - There are no singletons using a stale application instance. - There are no singletons using a stale config instance. - There are no singletons using a stale request instance. - There are no static properties written during a request. There should be no problems using this package with Laravel Octane. Security -------- [](#security) If you discover any security related issues, please email instead of using the issue tracker.
