Copy / Paste clipboard iPhone using Phonegap

Question

How can I get access to the iPhone clipboard whilst using PhoneGap? I cannot see support in their docs so wonder if there is another way I can gain access?

You can do it with Javascript, with or without JQuery. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3475293/copy-and-paste-clipboard-in-javascript-or-jquery — Diego, Mar 25 '12 at 20:08
Thanks for the answer but this seems to be a Mozilla only solution and the jQuery plugin requires flash, which isn't on the iPhone — Chris, Mar 25 '12 at 20:10

There's a ClipBoard plugin that you can try: https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugins/tree/master/iPhone/ClipboardPlugin

Note that this plugin supports copying and pasting only text and no other data types right now.

Thanks - I had literally just found this as you posted. P.s. any idea how to extend this for images? – Chris Mar 25 '12 at 20:29

U're welcome. I'm not sure how to extend it for images, but if you have access to objective-c code, just use the `NSPasteboard* pasteBoard = [NSPasteboard generalPasteboard];`, then you can get the content with: `image = [pasteBoard dataForType:NSTIFFPboardType];`. – Vicenç Gascó Mar 25 '12 at 20:36

This seems to be the current plugin for this functionality:
