Puppeteer Go
Just a simple API to script puppeteer, all it does is load a URL and then let you run a function against the page once it has loaded.
That is all.
Usage
- Install
npm i puppeteer-go
- Include
const {go} = require('puppeteer-go');
- Use
/*
page - the Page instance returned from puppeteer
browser - the Browser instance returned from puppeteer
*/
const callback = (page, browser) { ... };
go(url, callback)
Why does this exist?
I like building little scripts to automate actions on the web with puppeteer but I kept forgetting the stanza to start a session, browser to a page ... that and my fingers kept getting tired.
Examples
- Screen shotting elements on a page
const {go} = require('puppeteer-go');
go('https://paul.kinlan.me', async (page) => {
const elements = await page.$$("h1");
let count = 0;
for(let element of elements) {
try {
await element.screenshot({ path: `${count++}.png`});
} catch (err) {
console.log(count, err);
}
}
});
