Capture output of a template and send to the clipboard?

[mocoso]

How can I create a template that sends its output to the clipboard instead of inserting it into the current file?

And to be clear the challenge I have is how to capture the output. If I knew how to do this then I am confident I can use js to send it to the clipboard.

Stick this line at the end of your template to copy the output of the template to your clipboard instead of inserting at the current cursor location. The first part copies the template output to your clipboard, the second clears the output so nothing is inserted.

<%* await navigator.clipboard.writeText(tR); tR = ""; -%>

Thanks for this @Zachatoo .

However, this doesn't quite work because tR doesn't seem to contain the rendered output.

For example if I use the following template

<% tp.date.now("Do MMMM YYYY") %>

And some more content

<%* await navigator.clipboard.writeText(tR); tR = ""; -%>

Then this is what is copied to the clipboard

rJ2KqXzxQg

And some more content

Where "rJ2KqXzxQg" appears to be some sort of placeholder for where the result of tp.date.now("Do MMMM YYYY") will be put.

If I take the await navigator.clipboard.writeText(tR); tR = ""; out, then this template renders the date and content into my page as you would expect.

Ah, I only tested with execution commands, not interpolation commands. This should work. There's probably a way to do it with interpolation commands as well but it'd be more complicated.

<%* tR += tp.date.now("Do MMMM YYYY") %>

And some more content

<%* await navigator.clipboard.writeText(tR); tR = ""; -%>

Of course. Thank you so much!
