fargo 1a822493ba format: apply repo prettier (3.8.1) to the folded skills tree
963 markdown files reformatted with the repository's pinned prettier so
pnpm format:check covers the folded tree like every other repo file.

The formatter's embedded-language pass also normalized code fences
(TS semicolons, closed HTML tags in examples, lowercased CSS hex colors,
one renumbered list that skipped an index). Alphanumeric token deltas vs
the fold commit were audited file-by-file; all are formatter-equivalent
markup normalizations plus the four sanitized skills.

useClipboard

useClipboardItems

Reactive Clipboard API. Provides the ability to respond to clipboard commands (cut, copy, and paste) as well as to asynchronously read from and write to the system clipboard. Access to the contents of the clipboard is gated behind the Permissions API. Without user permission, reading or altering the clipboard contents is not permitted.

Difference from useClipboard

useClipboard is a "text-only" function, while useClipboardItems is a ClipboardItem based function. You can use useClipboardItems to copy any content supported by ClipboardItem.

Usage

<script setup lang="ts">
import { useClipboardItems } from '@vueuse/core';

const mime = 'text/plain';
const source = ref([
  new ClipboardItem({
    [mime]: new Blob(['plain text'], { type: mime }),
  }),
]);

const { content, copy, copied, isSupported } = useClipboardItems({ source });
</script>

<template>
  <div v-if="isSupported">
    <button @click="copy(source)">
      <!-- by default, `copied` will be reset in 1.5s -->
      <span v-if="!copied">Copy</span>
      <span v-else>Copied!</span>
    </button>
    <p>
      Current copied: <code>{{ content || 'none' }}</code>
    </p>
  </div>
  <p v-else>Your browser does not support Clipboard API</p>
</template>
