PR Review: Copy to Clipboard Button for Response Body

I've completed a thorough review of this PR that adds a copy to clipboard button for the response body in the CORS Fetch Tester. Here's my comprehensive analysis:

✅ Code Quality & Best Practices

Excellent implementation overall:

• Clean CSS architecture: New styles follow the existing design system with consistent naming conventions (.body-toolbar, .copy-btn)
• Semantic HTML: Proper use of <button> element with appropriate type="button" and accessibility attributes (title for tooltip)
• Good separation of concerns: CSS, HTML structure, and JavaScript are well-organized
• Consistent styling: The copy button integrates seamlessly with the existing UI design language

Minor suggestions:

• The SVG icon is embedded inline, which is fine for a single-use case but consider extracting if you plan to reuse copy icons elsewhere in the application

✅ Functionality & User Experience

Robust implementation:

• Progressive enhancement: Copy functionality gracefully degrades with fallback for older browsers/insecure contexts
• Visual feedback: Button changes to green "Copied!" state for 1.5 seconds, providing clear user confirmation
• Smart positioning: Button is right-aligned in a toolbar layout that works well with the existing JSON format toggle
• Edge case handling: Properly handles empty response bodies by returning early

✅ Browser Compatibility & Performance

Well-considered cross-browser support:

• Modern API: Uses navigator.clipboard.writeText() for secure contexts
• Fallback strategy: Implements document.execCommand('copy') fallback for older browsers/HTTP contexts
• Minimal performance impact: Event listeners are efficiently bound, no memory leaks
• CSS transitions: Smooth hover effects with appropriate duration (0.15s)

✅ Security Considerations

No security concerns identified:

• Uses modern Clipboard API appropriately - no sensitive data exposure
• Fallback implementation properly manages temporary DOM elements
• No XSS vulnerabilities in the implementation

⚠️ Potential Improvements

Minor enhancement opportunities:

1. Accessibility: Consider adding aria-label for screen readers:

   <button type="button" class="copy-btn" id="copy-body-btn" 
          
          >

2. Error handling: Could add user feedback for copy failures:

   } catch (error) {
       // Show error state instead of just falling back silently
       copyBodyLabel.textContent = "Failed";
       setTimeout(() => copyBodyLabel.textContent = "Copy", 1500);
   }

3. Code organization: The fallback logic is duplicated - could be extracted to a helper function for cleaner code.

✅ Test Coverage Assessment

Current state:

• This appears to be a standalone HTML tool without a formal test suite
• Manual testing recommended: Verify copy functionality in different browsers and contexts (HTTPS vs HTTP)
• Testing scenarios: Empty responses, large responses, JSON vs plain text responses

Recommendation: Consider adding basic JavaScript unit tests if this becomes part of a larger application, but manual testing is sufficient for the current scope.

🎯 Summary

This is a high-quality implementation that enhances user experience with a commonly needed feature. The code follows existing patterns, handles edge cases well, and provides appropriate user feedback. The changes are minimal and focused, reducing risk while adding significant value.

Recommendation: ✅ Approve

The implementation demonstrates good understanding of web standards, accessibility considerations, and user experience principles. No blocking issues identified.
