Function readFromClipboard

Reads and automatically parses contents from the user's clipboard.

This MUST be called from an event handler and it triggers a permission popup. If not called from an event handler or permission is denied it will throw a NotAllowedError.

It will also throw if the navigator.keyboard API is not available or if any of the parsing fails.

const result = await paste().catch(handleError)
if (result[0].type === "json") console.log(result[0].data)
if (result[0].type === "image") {
	const img = new Image()
	img.src = URL.createObjectURL(result.data)
 	document.body.appendChild(img)
}
