RevoGrid [Pro]

Clipboard Json

ClipboardJsonPlugin

The ClipboardJsonPlugin is a custom plugin for the RevoGrid framework that enhances the clipboard functionality by enabling JSON data parsing during copy and paste operations. This plugin allows complex data structures to be serialized and deserialized correctly when copying to or pasting from the clipboard, supporting advanced data handling scenarios within the grid.

Features:

  • Intercepts the CLIPBOARD_COPY_EVENT to serialize objects in the grid cells into JSON strings prefixed with a special marker ($rv-parse_). This ensures that complex data types are preserved during copy operations.
  • Intercepts the CLIPBOARD_PASTE_EVENT to deserialize JSON strings back into objects when pasted into the grid, restoring the original data structure.
  • Provides methods parserCopy and parserPaste to handle the conversion logic, allowing for easy customization and extension.

Usage:

  • Integrate ClipboardJsonPlugin into a RevoGrid instance to enable JSON data support in clipboard operations. This is particularly useful for applications that handle structured data or require seamless data interchange with external systems.

Example

import { ClipboardJsonPlugin } from '@revolist/revogrid-pro'


const grid = document.createElement('revo-grid');
grid.plugins = [ClipboardJsonPlugin];

This plugin is essential for developers looking to enhance the data exchange capabilities of RevoGrid, providing robust support for copying and pasting complex data structures.

class ClipboardJsonPlugin {
  parserPaste(data: DataFormat[][]);


  parserCopy(data: DataFormat[][]);
}
