## Installation
|
|
|
|
Use npm or Yarn to install Playwright in your Node.js project. See [system requirements](#system-requirements).
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
npm i -D playwright
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This single command downloads the Playwright NPM package and browser binaries for Chromium, Firefox and WebKit. To modify this behavior see [installation parameters](installation.md).
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
Once installed, you can `require` Playwright in a Node.js script, and launch any of the 3 browsers (`chromium`, `firefox` and `webkit`).
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const { chromium } = require('playwright');
|
|
|
|
(async () => {
|
|
const browser = await chromium.launch();
|
|
// Create pages, interact with UI elements, assert values
|
|
await browser.close();
|
|
})();
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Playwright APIs are asynchronous and return Promise objects. Our code examples use [the async/await pattern](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/JavaScript/Asynchronous/Async_await) to ease readability. The code is wrapped in an unnamed async arrow function which is invoking itself.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
(async () => { // Start of async arrow function
|
|
// Function code
|
|
// ...
|
|
})(); // End of the function and () to invoke itself
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## First script
|
|
|
|
In our first script, we will navigate to `whatsmyuseragent.org` and take a screenshot in WebKit.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const { webkit } = require('playwright');
|
|
|
|
(async () => {
|
|
const browser = await webkit.launch();
|
|
const page = await browser.newPage();
|
|
await page.goto('http://whatsmyuseragent.org/');
|
|
await page.screenshot({ path: `example.png` });
|
|
await browser.close();
|
|
})();
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
By default, Playwright runs the browsers in headless mode. To see the browser UI, pass the `headless: false` flag while launching the browser. You can also use `slowMo` to slow down execution.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
firefox.launch({ headless: false, slowMo: 50 });
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Record scripts
|
|
|
|
[Playwright CLI](https://www.npmjs.com/package/playwright-cli) can be used to record user interactions and generate JavaScript code.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
npx playwright-cli codegen wikipedia.org
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## TypeScript support
|
|
|
|
Playwright includes built-in support for TypeScript. Type definitions will be imported automatically. It is recommended to use type-checking to improve the IDE experience.
|
|
|
|
### In JavaScript
|
|
Add the following to the top of your JavaScript file to get type-checking in VS Code or WebStorm.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
//@ts-check
|
|
// ...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you can use JSDoc to set types for variables.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
/** @type {import('playwright').Page} */
|
|
let page;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### In TypeScript
|
|
TypeScript support will work out-of-the-box. Types can also be imported explicitly.
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
let page: import('playwright').Page;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## System requirements
|
|
|
|
Playwright requires Node.js version 10.17 or above. The browser binaries for Chromium,
|
|
Firefox and WebKit work across the 3 platforms (Windows, macOS, Linux):
|
|
|
|
* **Windows**: Works with Windows and Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).
|
|
* **macOS**: Requires 10.14 or above.
|
|
* **Linux**: Depending on your Linux distribution, you might need to install additional
|
|
dependencies to run the browsers.
|
|
* Firefox requires Ubuntu 18.04+
|
|
* For Ubuntu 18.04, the additional dependencies are defined in [our Docker image](docker/Dockerfile.bionic),
|
|
which is based on Ubuntu.
