  Hi Team, i have to copy data from Excel, to SpreadJs sheet and i customized the right click button for "Copy All " so i can get the data, and use it.

  i used navigator Api, it’s working in localhost, but not on HTTP.
  
  is there any other solution i can use ?
  
  Thanks

  Hi Eddie,

  As mentioned in the following document
  
  https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2018/03/clipboardapi#security_and_permissions
  
  navigator.clipboard API is only available for the pages with a secure context, which is why it is not working on HTTP. Please refer to the following doc to read more about the secure context: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Security/Secure_Contexts

  is there any other solution i can use ?
  
  We are sorry but browsers do not allow webapps to access the system clipboard without the user interaction i.e pressing shortcut key for paste, so there is not other way to implement this. navigator.clipboard API was actually developed to address this problem but without using the async clipboard API it is the technical limitation.

  Regards
