nestjs-pptr v2.0.1

NestJS Puppeteer

A NestJS module for Puppeteer. This module provides a service that can be injected into your controllers and services to perform various tasks related to web scraping and automation.

Installation

To install the module, run the following command in your project's root directory:

$ npm install nestjs-pptr puppeteer
$ npm install --save-dev @types/puppeteer

# or

$ yarn add nestjs-pptr puppeteer
$ yarn add -D @types/puppeteer

Usage

Registering the Module

The PuppeteerModule can be registered in your application by calling the forRoot method in the imports array of your AppModule. The forRoot method accepts an optional PuppeteerModuleOptions object that can be used to configure the module.

// app.module.ts
import { Module } from '@nestjs/common';
import { PuppeteerModule } from 'nestjs-pptr';
import { AppController } from './app.controller';
import { AppService } from './app.service';

@Module({
  imports: [PuppeteerModule.forRoot({ launchOptions: { headless: true } })],
  controllers: [AppController],
  providers: [AppService],
})
export class AppModule {
}

Using the Service

The PuppeteerCore service can be injected into your controllers and services by using the @InjectCore decorator. The PuppeteerCore service provides a wrapper around the puppeteer package and exposes the same methods and properties.

// app.service.ts
import { Injectable } from '@nestjs/common';
import { InjectCore, PuppeteerCore } from 'nestjs-pptr';
import { Page } from 'puppeteer';

@Injectable()
export class AppService {
  constructor(@InjectCore() private readonly puppeteer: PuppeteerCore) {
  }

  async getScreenshot(url: string): Promise<Buffer> {
    const browser = await this.puppeteer.launch();
    const page: Page = await browser.newPage();
    await page.goto(url);
    const screenshot = await page.screenshot();
    await browser.close();
    return screenshot;
  }
}

Using the Service with Custom Options

The PuppeteerCore service can be injected into your controllers and services by using the @InjectCore decorator. The PuppeteerCore service provides a wrapper around the puppeteer package and exposes the same methods and properties.

// app.controller.ts
import { Controller, Get, Param, Res } from '@nestjs/common';
import { Response } from 'express';
import { AppService } from './app.service';

@Controller()
export class AppController {
  constructor(private readonly appService: AppService) {
  }

  @Get(':url')
  async getScreenshot(@Param('url') url: string, @Res() res: Response) {
    const screenshot = await this.appService.getScreenshot(url);
    res.set('Content-Type', 'image/png');
    res.send(screenshot);
  }
}
