EdgarChen left a comment (w3c/clipboard-apis#240) > <dandclark> ...so if we make getType lazy it could throw, or return empty string, if data is stale <dandclark> ...throwing has higher compat risk for Chromium <dandclark> ...would Safari be willing to make change to return empty change for stale data if Chromium changes getType to be lazy? <dandclark> whsieh: instead of throwing ex, return empty string? Seems OK <dandclark> ...willing to do that if we don't already <dandclark> Ashish: And would FF be willing to change to this behavior? <dandclark> ...if Chromium goes first Currently, `getType()` is not lazy in Firefox. However, we are willing to make it lazy and also return an empty string for stale data if the spec changes. -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/w3c/clipboard-apis/issues/240#issuecomment-3739077782 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
