Hello, I tried to use your project but this error poped up:

D:\www\myProject\node_modules\electron-clipboard-watcher\index.js:39
  let lastText = clipboard.readText()
                          ^

TypeError: Cannot read property 'readText' of undefined
    at module.exports (D:\www\Copy Pasta\node_modules\electron-clipboard-watcher\index.js:39:27)

    at Function.Module.runMain (module.js:441:10)
    at startup (node.js:139:18)
    at node.js:974:3

I copied/passed your example on https://www.npmjs.com/package/electron-clipboard-watcher.

Could you help me with this ?

Thank you!

@omaflak I know this is a few months late, but in case this is something that you still are unsure about (or anyone else for that matter) you need to run an instance of electron to get this to work.

Instead of launching your code normally, you need to run with Electron like this electron . which will run in the current directory.

Thank you @LeonBlade , I'll try this.
