puppeteer-web

puppeteer-web bundle created using browserify

Why?

• The bundlers fails to bundle puppeteer, and downloading puppeteer repo just to build puppeteer-web version seems like a hassle for quick development.
• Puppeteer team removed puppeteer-web from their repo in this PR
• The previous puppeteer could be found here on this commit, but it's a pain to build that as well.
• Lots of questions in stackoverflow like this shows the demand of such library.

Usage

yarn add puppeteer-web

import puppeteer from 'puppeteer-web';
 
async function run(){
 
  const browser = await puppeteer.connect({
    browserWSEndpoint: `ws://0.0.0.0:8080`, // <-- connect to a server running somewhere
    ignoreHTTPSErrors: true
  });
 
  const pagesCount = (await browser.pages()).length;
  const browserWSEndpoint = await browser.wsEndpoint();
  console.log({ browserWSEndpoint, pagesCount });
 
}

Roadmap

• Auto build new minorversion on new puppeteer-core release
• Update document about pitfall
