# 🎠[Playwright](https://playwright.dev) for Crystal  [](https://github.com/naqvis/playwright-cr/releases)
#### [Website](https://playwright.dev/) | [API Reference](https://naqvis.github.io/playwright-cr/)
**Playwright-cr** is a Crystal library to automate [Chromium](https://www.chromium.org/Home), [Firefox](https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/) and [WebKit](https://webkit.org/) with a single API. Playwright is built to enable cross-browser web automation that is **ever-green**, **capable**, **reliable** and **fast**. [See how Playwright is better](https://playwright.dev/#path=docs%2Fwhy-playwright.md&q=).
| | Linux | macOS | Windows |
| :--- | :---: | :---: | :---: |
| Chromium <!-- GEN:chromium-version -->89.0.4344.0<!-- GEN:stop --> | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| WebKit 14.1 | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |

Headless execution is supported for all the browsers on all platforms. Check out [system requirements](https://playwright.dev/#?path=docs/intro.md&q=system-requirements) for details.
# Playwright Dependencies
Playwright Crystal relies on two external components: The Playwright driver and the browsers.
## Playwright Driver
Playwright drivers will be downloaded to the `bin/driver` folder, and browsers will be installed at shard installation time.
## Installation
1. Add the dependency to your `shard.yml`:
```yaml
dependencies:
playwright:
github: naqvis/playwright-cr
```
2. Run `shards install`
## Usage
### Page Screenshot
This code snippet navigates to whatsmyuseragent.org in Chromium, Firefox and WebKit, and saves 3 screenshots.
```crystal
require "playwright"
playwright = Playwright.create
browser_types = [playwright.chromium,
playwright.webkit,
playwright.firefox]
browser_types.each do |browser_type|
browser = browser_type.launch
context = browser.new_context(Playwright::Browser::NewContextOptions.new(
viewport: Playwright::Page::ViewPort.new(800, 600)))
page = context.new_page
page.goto("http://whatsmyuseragent.org/")
page.screenshot(Playwright::Page::ScreenshotOptions.new(path: Path["screenshot-#{browser_type.name}.png"]))
browser.close
end
playwright.close
```
### Mobile and geolocation
This snippet emulates Mobile Chromium on a device at a given geolocation, navigates to openstreetmap.org, performs action and takes a screenshot.
```crystal
require "playwright"
playwright = Playwright.create
browser = playwright.chromium.launch(Playwright::BrowserType::LaunchOptions.new(headless: false))
pixel2 = playwright.devices["Pixel 2"]
context = browser.new_context(Playwright::Browser::NewContextOptions.new(
viewport: Playwright::Page::ViewPort.new(pixel2.viewport.width, pixel2.viewport.height),
user_agent: pixel2.user_agent,
device_scale_factor: pixel2.device_scale_factor.to_i,
is_mobile: pixel2.is_mobile,
has_touch: pixel2.has_touch,
locale: "en-US",
geolocation: Playwright::Geolocation.new(41.889938, 12.492507),
permissions: ["geolocation"]))
page = context.new_page
page.goto("https://www.openstreetmap.org/")
page.click("a[data-original-title=\"Show My Location\"]")
page.screenshot(Playwright::Page::ScreenshotOptions.new(path: Path["colosseum-pixel2.png"]))
browser.close
playwright.close
```
### Evaluate in browser context
This code snippet navigates to example.com in Firefox, and executes a script in the page context.
```crystal
require "playwright"
playwright = Playwright.create
browser = playwright.firefox.launch(Playwright::BrowserType::LaunchOptions.new(headless: false))
context = browser.new_context
page = context.new_page
page.goto("https://www.example.com/")
dimensions = page.evaluate(%(
() => {
return {
width: document.documentElement.clientWidth,
height: document.documentElement.clientHeight,
deviceScaleFactor: window.devicePixelRatio
}
}
))
puts dimensions # => {"width" => 1280, "height" => 720, "deviceScaleFactor" => 1}
browser.close
playwright.close
```
### Intercept network requests
This code snippet sets up request routing for a WebKit page to log all network requests.
```crystal
require "playwright"
playwright = Playwright.create
browser = playwright.webkit.launch
context = browser.new_context
page = context.new_page
page.route("**", Playwright::Consumer(Playwright::Route).new { |route|
puts route.request.url
route.continue
})
page.goto("http://todomvc.com")
browser.close
playwright.close
```
Refer to `spec` for more samples and usages. This shard comes with **350+** test cases :)
## Development
To run all tests:
```
crystal spec
```
By Default browser is `chromium`, but you can change the browser via setting environment variable of `BROWSER=firefox` or `BROWSER=webkit` for specs to run using different browser.
By default tests are run in **headless** mode. But if you would like the tests to run in headful way, set the environment variable `HEADFUL=true`.
