Tutorial: Creating a Simple Copy Paste Tool

In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to create a simple copy-paste tool called Copaste.de. This tool allows you to copy and paste text from one place to another quickly and easily. It is free to use and does not require any registration or sign-up.

Step 1: Setting Up the Project

First, create a new directory for your project and navigate into it:

mkdir copaste
cd copaste

Step 2: Creating the HTML File

Create an index.html file with the following content:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>Copaste.de</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">
</head>
<body>
    <div class="container">
        <h1>Copaste.de</h1>
        <textarea id="inputText" placeholder="Type or paste your text here..."></textarea>
        <button onclick="copyText()">Copy</button>
        <button onclick="pasteText()">Paste</button>
        <textarea id="outputText" placeholder="Your pasted text will appear here..."></textarea>
    </div>
    <script src="script.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

Step 3: Adding Styles

Create a styles.css file to style your tool:

body {
    font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
    display: flex;
    justify-content: center;
    align-items: center;
    height: 100vh;
    margin: 0;
}

.container {
    text-align: center;
}

textarea {
    width: 80%;
    height: 100px;
    margin: 10px 0;
}

button {
    margin: 5px;
    padding: 10px 20px;
}

Step 4: Writing the JavaScript

Create a script.js file to handle the copy and paste functionality:

function copyText() {
    const inputText = document.getElementById('inputText');
    inputText.select();
    document.execCommand('copy');
}

function pasteText() {
    const outputText = document.getElementById('outputText');
    navigator.clipboard.readText().then(text => {
        outputText.value = text;
    });
}
