# Verifying clipboard content

Some websites allow users to copy a value, like a URL or some text, to the clipboard by clicking a button (e.g., “Copy to clipboard” in the screenshot below). The following snippet allows you to check that the correct value was actually copied.

## How to set it up

1. Add a Playwright code step after the step that clicks the “Copy” button.
2. Paste the following code into the Playwright step:

```typescript
// Grant clipboard permissions for reading and writing
context.grantPermissions([
  'clipboard-write',
  'clipboard-read',
]);

// Read the clipboard content
const result = await page.evaluate(async () => {
  return await navigator.clipboard.readText();
});

// Verify that the clipboard contains the expected text
expect(result).toContain('expected_copied_text_value');

// Optional: Log the clipboard value to the browser console
await page.evaluate(r => console.log(r), result);
```

1. Replace `expected_copied_text_value` with the expected value you want to assert against.
