flutter_paste_input library

A Flutter plugin for intercepting paste events in text fields.

This plugin enables your app to detect when users paste content (text or images) into a TextField, TextFormField, or similar widgets.

Getting Started

Wrap your text input with PasteWrapper:

import 'package:flutter_paste_input/flutter_paste_input.dart';

PasteWrapper(
  onPaste: (payload) {
    switch (payload) {
      case TextPaste(:final text):
        print('Pasted text: $text');
      case ImagePaste(:final uris):
        print('Pasted ${uris.length} images');
        // Handle images - uris are temporary file paths
      case UnsupportedPaste():
        print('Unsupported content');
    }
  },
  child: TextField(
    decoration: InputDecoration(hintText: 'Type or paste here...'),
  ),
)

Platform Support

Image Handling

When images are pasted, they are saved as temporary files in the app's cache directory. The ImagePaste.uris field contains the file paths. If you need to persist these images, copy them to a permanent location.

To clean up temporary files, call:

await PasteChannel.instance.clearTempFiles();
