react-data-grid External copy paste handlers

External copy paste handlers

Open adam-kuhn opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

This PR adds two callback props for the copy and paste events. The new props allow developers to write their own logic for the copy and paste events. Thereby, allowing the devs to respond to the events as they see fit, by having all of the logic outside of react-data-grid.

The primary limitations of the internal copy/paste logic provided by react-data-grid, is the inability to copy/paste items from external sources by writing to the clipboard. As well as the limitation of only being able to copy one cell at a time. By letting developers write there own logic to these events, these use cases can be addressed by enabling the dev to write their own logic.

Possible use cases for these two props:

copying values to the clipboard
pasting values from the clipboard
- allows the user to paste data that was copied from outside of react-data-grid
copying from multiple cells
pasting to multiples cells
