copy-file-content v1.0.1

copy-file-content

Very simple package to copy the file content to your clipboard

Motivation

I was tired of opening text files to copy their content, so I created this package.

Usage

There's 2 ways of using

Using the package globally as a command tool

First install the package globally

pnpm add copy-file-content -g

Then you can use it to the file content

copy-file-content file.html

After this, the file content will be avaiable in the clipboard

Using the package as a dependency

Add the package as a dependency

pnpm add copy-file-content

Then import the function and use it

import { copyFileContent } from 'copy-file-content';

await copyFileContent('file.html');

After this, the file content will be avaiable in the clipboard

Arguments

You can also use the arguments as options in the second argument of the exported function copyFileContent, like this:

import { copyFileContent } from 'copy-file-content';

await copyFileContent('file.html', { encoding: 'utf-16' });

Notes

• This package only works in a Node.js environments, it was not tested in the browser
• This package is ESM only, it was not tested with CommonJS
• This package only works with text files. It will not copy the content of a .xlsx, for example
• This package does not validate how big the file is, I made it to be used with small files
