Code to do paste equivalent of Ctrl + v

[sensiblearts]

I'm using Windows, and when I use Ctrl + v to paste the clipboard text, it works well for markdown in general and for the following node types (I added remark-directives for audio and video):

![some jpg](/api/images/some_image.jpg)

::audio{src="some_audio.wav"}

::video{src="some_video.mp4"}

In all of the above cases, a keyboard paste creates the proper node -- <img>, <audio>, or <video>.

So, now I have added a context menu to my editor so that I can use it to paste (this is Svelte code):

  <EditorContextMenu handlePaste={handlePaste}>
            <div use:editor />
  </EditorContextMenu>

However, in order to determine what kind of node to create (text, image, audio, video), I would have to parse the above markdown (or remark directives) and extract the src attribute and the node type. It seems to me that Milkdown must already be doing this, because Ctrl + v does it.

E.g., for image, the code I'm trying is:

    let handlePaste = (content: string) => {
        theEditor.editor.action((ctx: Ctx) => {
            const schema = ctx.get(schemaCtx);
            const editorView = ctx.get(editorViewCtx);
         
            // the following will not work ...
            // it creates of course, ![some jpg](![some jpg](/api/images/some_image.jpg))
            // const node = schema.nodes.image.create({src: content});

            // what I am looking for is something like...:
            const node = schema.nodes.create_from_markdown(content);  // doesn't exist

            editorView.dispatch(editorView.state.tr.insert(3, node));
        });
        theEditor.focus();
    }

How does Milkdown do, essentially, schema.nodes.create_from_markdown(content); when I press Ctrl + v ?

Also, how to get current cursor position (instead of hard coded 3 above) ?

Thanks in advance.

I apologize for missing the obvious. The solution is simply:

  let handlePaste = (content: string) => {
        theEditor.editor.action(insert(content));
        theEditor.focus();
    }
