defmodule PlaywrightEx do @moduledoc """ Elixir client for the Playwright node.js driver. Automate browsers like Chromium, Firefox, Safari and Edge. Helpful for web scraping and agentic AI. > #### Experimental {: .warning} > > This is an early stage, experimental, version. > The API is subject to change. ## Getting started 1. Add dependency # mix.exs {:playwright_ex, "~> 0.2"} 2. Ensure `playwright` is installed (executable in `$PATH` or installed via `npm`) 3. Start connection (or add to supervision tree) # if installed via npm or similar add `executable: "assets/node_modules/playwright/cli.js"` {:ok, _} = PlaywrightEx.Supervisor.start_link(timeout: 1000) 4. Use it alias PlaywrightEx.{Browser, BrowserContext, Frame} {:ok, browser} = PlaywrightEx.launch_browser(:chromium, timeout: 1000) {:ok, context} = Browser.new_context(browser.guid, timeout: 1000) {:ok, %{main_frame: frame}} = BrowserContext.new_page(context.guid, timeout: 1000) {:ok, _} = Frame.goto(frame.guid, "https://elixir-lang.org/", timeout: 1000) {:ok, _} = Frame.click(frame.guid, Selector.link("Install"), timeout: 1000) ## Transports By default, PlaywrightEx launches a local playwright driver. This is typically installed via `npm` or `bun`. Alternatively, PlaywrightEx can connect to a remote playwright server. See `PlaywrightEx.Supervisor` for further information. ## References: - Code extracted from [phoenix_test_playwright](https://hexdocs.pm/phoenix_test_playwright). - Inspired by [playwright-elixir](https://hexdocs.pm/playwright). - Official playwright node.js [client docs](https://playwright.dev/docs/intro). ## Comparison to playwright-elixir `playwright-elixir` built on the python client and tried to provide a comprehensive client from the start. `playwright_ex` instead is a ground-up implementation. It is not intended to be comprehensive. Rather, it is intended to be simple and easy to extend.
