Playwright

Playwright is a Node library to automate web browsers (Chromium, Webkit and Firefox).

Getting started

Installation

npm i playwright

Usage

Playwright can be used to create a browser instance, open pages, and then manipulate them. See API docs for a comprehensive list.

Example

This code snippet navigates to example.com in the Webkit browser, and saves a screenshot.

const pw = require('playwright');

(async () => {
    const browser = await pw.playwright('webkit').launch(); // or 'chromium', 'firefox'
    const context = await browser.newContext();
    const page = await context.newPage();

    await page.goto('https://www.example.com/');
    await page.screenshot({ path: 'example.png' });

    await browser.close();
})();
