ClipboardItem.supports()
The supports() static method of the ClipboardItem interface returns true if the given MIME type is supported by the clipboard, and false otherwise.
Note that the Clipboard API mandates support for plain text, HTML and PNG files. The supports() method will always return true for these MIME types, so testing them is unnecessary.
