Clipboard

Copy, cut, and paste table data with configurable delimiters. Defaults to tab-separated values for Excel compatibility.

Core primitives

The core package exports serializeCells, parseClipboardText, and related helpers from packages/core/src/features/clipboard.ts. Use them directly, or drive clipboard interactions from the React hook useClipboard in @zvndev/yable-react.

import { serializeCells } from '@zvndev/yable-core'

// Serialize selected rows/columns to clipboard text (TSV by default)
const text = serializeCells(selectedRows, selectedColumns, {
  delimiter: '\t',
  rowDelimiter: '\n',
  includeHeaders: false,
})
await navigator.clipboard.writeText(text)

Bulk export (CSV/JSON)

For bulk copy operations outside of a selection, exportData() is the simpler path:

const csv = table.exportData({ format: 'csv' })
navigator.clipboard.writeText(csv)

const allCsv = table.exportData({ format: 'csv', allRows: true })
navigator.clipboard.writeText(allCsv)

const partial = table.exportData({
  format: 'csv',
  columns: ['name', 'email'],
})
