typing for navigator.clipboard

⚙ Compilation target

ES5

⚙ Library

None

Missing / Incorrect Definition

lib.dom.ts defines interface Navigator with:

`/**

• Available only in secure contexts.
• MDN Reference */ readonly clipboard: Clipboard;`

This allows writing code like navigator.clipboard.readText() which crashes in unsecure environments (over HTTP).

Fix suggestion: Change the return type in typing to Clipboard | null to force a null check in consuming code. This is kind of a breaking change but that's the point.

Sample Code

navigator.clipboard.readText() ;will crash over HTTP
