Development

Overview of Folder Structure

• src contains the pre-build files of the UI Recorder.
• test contains the files for testing the UI recorder.
• gulp contains the gulp task files.

Set up The Local Environment

Here are the steps:

• Install gulp globally if you haven't done so.
• Run npm install.
• Run gulp to build the browser.js.

Usage

browser.js is built with Browserify's standalone option. You can use it with CommonJS, require.js, or include the file directly.

Here is a sample that use window.browser:

var browser = window.browser;

browser
    .init()
    .openWindow('https://github.com/yguan/browser') // The operation is added to the chain, but not executed.
    .done(); // Execute all operations in the chain

browser
    .getElements('.entry-title')
    .then(function (elements) {
        console.log(arguments);
    })
    .done();
