A wrapper around PhantomJS, downloading the Phantom binary.

Using this module, you don't need to take care of installing the PhantomJS binaries. It will automagically install them for you.

:cloud: Installation

# Using npm
npm install --save ghosty

# Using yarn
yarn add ghosty

:clipboard: Example

// Dependencies
var Ghosty = require("ghosty");

// Create the phantom process
Ghosty.create(ph => {

    // Create the page
    ph.createPage(page => {

        // Open google.com
        page.open("http://www.google.com", status => {
            console.log("Opened google? ", status);
            // => Opened google?  success

            // Get the document title
            // We're passing a regular function here because
            // ES6 arrow functions are not yet supported on PhantomJS
            page.evaluate(function () { return document.title; }, result => {
                console.log('Page title is ' + result);
                // => Page title is Google
                ph.exit();
            });
        });
    });
});

// Show the path
console.log("Using phantomjs located at: " + Ghosty.path);
// => Using phantomjs located at: /home/.../ghosty/node_modules/phantomjs/lib/phantom/bin/phantomjs

:memo: Documentation

Accessing the PhantomJS path

Use Ghosty.path to get the PhantomJS path that is used.

API

Basically, this library clones the entire functionality of

phantomjs-node,

but makes sure that you don't need to install any binaries

(it will do it for you automatically using the

phantomjs module.

:sparkling_heart: Support my projects

I open-source almost everything I can, and I try to reply to everyone needing help using these projects. Obviously, this takes time. You can integrate and use these projects in your applications for free! You can even change the source code and redistribute (even resell it).

However, if you get some profit from this or just want to encourage me to continue creating stuff, there are few ways you can do it:

  • Starring and sharing the projects you like :rocket:
  • Buy me a book—I love books! I will remember you after years if you buy me one. :grin: :book:
  • PayPal—You can make one-time donations via PayPal. I'll probably buy a coffee tea. :tea:
  • Support me on Patreon—Set up a recurring monthly donation and you will get interesting news about what I'm doing (things that I don't share with everyone).
  • Bitcoin—You can send me bitcoins at this address (or scanning the code below): 1P9BRsmazNQcuyTxEqveUsnf5CERdq35V6

Thanks! :heart:
