About

Happy DOM is a JavaScript implementation of a web browser without its graphical user interface. It includes many web standards from WHATWG DOM and HTML.

The goal of Happy DOM is to emulate enough of a web browser to be useful for testing, scraping web sites and server-side rendering.

Happy DOM focuses heavily on performance and can be used as an alternative to JSDOM.

Usage

Happy DOM can be used as a simulated Browser or by using the Window class directly to quickly setup up a DOM.

Window

import { Window } from 'happy-dom';

const window = new Window({ url: 'https://localhost:8080' });
const document = window.document;

document.body.innerHTML = '<div class="container"></div>';

const container = document.querySelector('.container');
const button = document.createElement('button');

container.appendChild(button);

// Outputs "<div class="container"><button></button></div>"
console.log(document.body.innerHTML);

Browser

import { Browser, BrowserErrorCaptureEnum } from 'happy-dom';

const browser = new Browser({ settings: { errorCapture: BrowserErrorCaptureEnum.processLevel } });
const page = browser.newPage();

// Navigates page
await page.goto('https://github.com/capricorn86');

// Clicks on link
page.mainFrame.document.querySelector('a[href*="capricorn86/happy-dom"]').click();

// Waits for all operations on the page to complete (fetch, timers etc.)
await page.waitUntilComplete();

// Outputs "GitHub - capricorn86/happy-dom: Happy DOM..."
console.log(page.mainFrame.document.title);

// Closes the browser
await browser.close();
