Overview of Playwright#

Playwright is a Node.js library which provides a high-level API to control Chrome/Chromium over the DevTools Protocol. Playwright runs in headless mode on Chromium on Pipedream.

Using Playwright you can perform tasks including:

Capture Screenshots: Convert webpages into images.
Processing PDFs: parse and scan PDFs.
Web Scraping: Extract data from websites.
UI/UX Testing: Verify user interface and experience.
Integration with Test Frameworks: Combine with testing frameworks.
Task Automation: Automate web-related tasks like form filling.
Functional Testing: Automate user interactions to test web application functionality.
Regression Testing: Ensure new code changes don't introduce bugs.

Connect Playwright#

import { playwright } from '@pipedream/browsers';

export default defineComponent({
  async run({steps, $}) {
    const browser = await playwright.launch();
    
    // Interact with the web page programmatically
    // See Playwright's Page documentation for available methods:
    // https://playwright.dev/docs/api/class-page
    const page = await browser.newPage();

    await page.goto('https://pipedream.com/');
    const title = await page.title();
    const content = await page.content();

    // Close context and browser otherwise the step will hang
    await page.context().close()
    await browser.close();

    return { title, content }
  },
})

Overview of Pipedream Utils#

The Pipedream Utils app is a set of pre-built functions that streamline common tasks in your workflows. It acts like a Swiss Army knife for developers, providing essential tools such as format conversion, date manipulation, and text processing. By leveraging these functions, you can reduce the boilerplate code needed for routine operations, speeding up the development of intricate automations. The Helper Functions API can be a game changer when it comes to tasks like parsing dates in user-friendly formats, encoding and decoding data, or generating UUIDs, making them more efficient and less error-prone.
