@scaleleap/puppeteer v1.1.56

📦 @scaleleap/puppeteer

A Puppeteer convenience wrapper with stealth mode enabled by default.

Download & Installation

$ npm i -s @scaleleap/puppeteer

Usage

Exports everything the same as puppeteer-core package.

In addition to that, launch method is amended to include an extra option that can enable or disable puppeteer-extra behavior.

Also executablePath is set, and headless is set via PUPPETEER_HEADLESS environment variable.

import { launch } from '@scaleleap/puppeteer'

const await browser = launch({
  extra: {
    // is true by default, but we are just showing the example
    stealth: true
  }
})

Helper Functions

clickAndWait(page: Page, selector: string, clickOptions?: ClickOptions, navigationOptions?: NavigationOptions)

Clicks and waits for network request to complete and resolves.

Environment Variables

The following environment variables are available:

• PUPPETEER_EXECUTABLE_PATH - the location of the Puppeteer executable.
• GOOGLE_CHROME_BIN - same as above, but only used inside Heroku buildpack.
• PUPPETEER_HEADLESS - Whether or not it should run in headless mode. Default: true

Heroku

For Heroku deployments, use a heroku/google-chrome buildpack.

This package will get the Chrome locations from the environment variable provided by the buildpack.

## make sure we are using NodeJS
heroku buildpacks:set heroku/nodejs

## now add chrome buildpack
heroku buildpacks:add heroku/google-chrome
