I have a jquery token tagit plugin and I want to bind to the paste event to add items correctly.
I'm able to bind to the paste event like so:
.bind("paste", paste_input)
...
function paste_input(e) {
console.log(e)
return false;
}
How can I obtain the actual pasted content value?
Another approach:
That input event will catch also the paste event.
$('textarea').bind('input', function () {
setTimeout(function () {
console.log('input event handled including paste event');
}, 0);
});
On modern browsers it's easy: just use the input event along with the inputType attribute:
$(document).on('input', 'input, textarea', function(e){
if (e.originalEvent.inputType == 'insertFromPaste') {
alert($(this).val());
}
});
I do it like so, this would work on most browsers used by humans
$("#couponCode").bind("change keyup input paste",function () {
const value= document.getElementById("couponCode").value;
});
