# A convenience script to upload pastes to a pastebin server. It basically wraps
# curl and xclip tools, so in order to use the script you are expected to
# install both `curl` and `xclip`. These tools are very commonly used so you'll
# find information on how to install them in your distribution easily.
#
# Usage is pretty simple and straightforward:
# $ paste.sh <filename>
# … to upload a file, and
# $ echo "Lol" | paste.sh
# … to upload some plain data.
#
# Don't forget to `chmod +x` on the script and put its path to the $PATH
# variable.

set -e -u

# Web server address.
WEB="{{prefix}}"

# Command to copy a paste ID to the clipboard (removing the trailing '\n').
CLIP_CMD="xclip -selection clipboard -in -rmlastnl"

# Sends data to the server.
paste_url=$(curl --silent --upload-file ${1:--} $WEB)

# Copies the paste link to the clipboard.
echo $paste_url | ${CLIP_CMD}

# Just for the convenience prints the link.
echo "Paste URL is: $paste_url (copied to clipboard)"
