tarikcurto.node-webdriver v1.0.2

Welcome to node-webdriver

Node-webdriver is an open source tool for web crawling and testing, employing Core of PhantomJS.

Current version is developed under TypeScript OOP and modular JS.

Tool works with events and allows the execution of multiple tasks.

With node-webdriver you can perform reliable and scalable works on any website.

Let's go to develop!

First you need download PhantomJS and define it in your system environment as phantomjs.

• Now, we need node-webdriver:

npm install tarikcurto.node-webdriver

git clone https://github.com/tarikcurto/node-webdriver.git

• Next step is import webdriver-api module from JS or TypeScript file:

const ApiService =  require('tarikcurto.node-webdriver').ApiService;

import {ApiService} from "tarikcurto.node-webdriver";

• Instance api service:

let apiService = new ApiService();

• Define startup URL:

apiService.setUrl("https://www.google.es");

• Create a webdriver plugin.

Webdriver plugins are task containers that are used to evaluate scripts on a website.

Plugins works with web page events (onWebPageRequestedFile, onWebPageChanged...). See full events list on src/phantom/interface/plugin.interface.ts.

import {PluginService, PluginInterface} from "tarikcurto.node-webdriver";

export class SampleWebdriverPlugin extends PluginService implements PluginInterface {

    public constructor() {
        super();
    }

    onWebPageOpen(status: string){

		console.log("Page status is " + status);
    }
}

• Add plugin to execution:

apiService.addPlugin("SampleWebdriverPlugin", __dirname + "/SampleWebdriverPlugin.js");

• Define work path (optional):

apiService.setWorkPath("C:\\tmp");

• And finally, execute node-webdriver!:

let result: string = apiService.build();
