This plugin is zero config, means you don't need to configure anything to works. But if you want to, you can configure it like this:

require'clipboard-image'.setup {
  -- Default configuration for all filetype
  default = {
    img_dir = "images",
    img_name = function() return os.date('%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M-%S') end, -- Example result: "2021-04-13-10-04-18"
    affix = "<\n  %s\n>" -- Multi lines affix
  },
  -- You can create configuration for ceartain filetype by creating another field (markdown, in this case)
  -- If you're uncertain what to name your field to, you can run `lua print(vim.bo.filetype)`
  -- Missing options from `markdown` field will be replaced by options from `default` field
  markdown = {
    img_dir = {"src", "assets", "img"}, -- Use table for nested dir (New feature form PR #20)
    img_dir_txt = "/assets/img",
    img_handler = function(img) -- New feature from PR #22
      local script = string.format('./image_compressor.sh "%s"', img.path)
      os.execute(script)
    end,
  }
