puppeteer-extra-plugin-session

A puppeteer-extra plugin to export and import session data (cookies, localStorage, sessionStorage, indexedDb)

Introduction

Dump and restore session data from your puppeteer pages.

This plugin supports:

  • cookies
  • localStorage
  • sessionStorage
  • IndexedDB (currently, only the securityOrigin of the current page will get dumped)

Installation

yarn add puppeteer-extra-plugin-session
# or
npm install puppeteer-extra-plugin-session

Usage

Basic usage

First of all, you have to register the plugin with puppeteer-extra.

JavaScript:

puppeteer.use(require('puppeteer-extra-plugin-session').default());

TypeScript:

import SessionPlugin from 'puppeteer-extra-plugin-session';
puppeteer.use(SessionPlugin());

Then, you'll have access to session data helpers:

const sessionData = await page.session.dump(); // or page.session.dumpString()

// [...]

await page.session.restore(sessionData); // or page.session.restoreString(sessionData)

Selecting storage backends

You may wish to exclude certain storage backends from being dumped or restored. This can be done by passing an options object to the dump and restore methods:

import { StorageProviderName } from 'puppeteer-extra-plugin-session';

const sessionData = await page.session.dump({
  storageProviders: [
    StorageProviderName.Cookie,
    StorageProviderName.LocalStorage,
  ], // only dump cookies and LocalStorage
});

// Here is the list of StorageProviderName:
//  * StorageProviderName.Cookie
//  * StorageProviderName.LocalStorage
//  * StorageProviderName.SessionStorage
//  * StorageProviderName.IndexedDB

// You can also filter what gets restored:
await page.session.restore(sessionData, {
  storageProviders: [StorageProviderName.Cookie], // only restore cookies (the previous dump also contained LocalStorage)
});

Testing

Tests are defined in *.spec.ts files.

You can run the tests watcher using yarn test or npm run test

Debugging

You can see the package's logs by setting the DEBUG=puppeteer-extra-plugin:session env variable.

Example: DEBUG=puppeteer-extra-plugin:session npm test
