Emere

Small tool to retrieve HTML or PDF from a loaded webpage with electron.

Works as a minimal replacement for nightmare.js since it hasn't been getting updates for years.

Usage

See src/main.test.ts for more examples.

import run from 'emere';

let bufferWithHtml = await run({
	url: 'http://example.org',
	waitForSelector: 'h1'
});
