Enterprise Clipboard API abstraction for browser-tier consumers. Wraps the async Clipboard API with a textarea + execCommand fallback, a paste-event read fallback, image / blob copy + read via ClipboardItem, FIFO serialization, secure-context guard, permission change subscription, focus-aware retry, optional HTML sanitizer, structured errors via @suaveplan/error, and OpenTelemetry instrumentation.

Install

bun add @suaveplan/clipboard

Quick start

import { ClipboardManager } from "@suaveplan/clipboard";

const clipboard = new ClipboardManager({
    useFallback: true,
    requireSecureContext: false,
    serialize: true,
});

const result = await clipboard.copyText("hello");
if (!result.success) {
    console.error("copy failed:", result.code, result.error);
}

Features

Copy plain text, HTML, images, and arbitrary MIME blobs.
Read plain text and rich content with optional HTML sanitization.
Paste-event fallback when navigator.clipboard.readText is unavailable.
Permission probe + live subscription (onPermissionChange).
Async FIFO queue so concurrent calls execute in arrival order.
Secure-context guard with typed error code (CLIPBOARD.INSECURE_CONTEXT).
Focus-aware retry on NotAllowedError: Document is not focused.
Eight stable error codes under the CLIPBOARD.* namespace.
Five OpenTelemetry instruments wired into every public method.
SSR-safe — graceful degradation when document / navigator / window are undefined.

Error codes

CLIPBOARD.API_UNAVAILABLE, CLIPBOARD.PERMISSION_DENIED, CLIPBOARD.FALLBACK_FAILED, CLIPBOARD.INSECURE_CONTEXT, CLIPBOARD.NO_CONTENT, CLIPBOARD.READ_FAILED, CLIPBOARD.DOCUMENT_UNAVAILABLE, CLIPBOARD.QUEUE_DRAINED.
