Page.setViewport() method

page.setViewport will resize the page. A lot of websites don't expect phones to change size, so you should set the viewport before navigating to the page.

In the case of multiple pages in a single browser, each page can have its own viewport size.

Signature:

setViewport(viewport: Viewport): Promise<void>;

Parameters​

ParameterTypeDescription

Argument viewport have following properties:

  • width: page width in pixels. required

  • height: page height in pixels. required

  • deviceScaleFactor: Specify device scale factor (can be thought of as DPR). Defaults to 1.

  • isMobile: Whether the meta viewport tag is taken into account. Defaults to false.

  • hasTouch: Specifies if viewport supports touch events. Defaults to false

  • isLandScape: Specifies if viewport is in landscape mode. Defaults to false.

NOTE: in certain cases, setting viewport will reload the page in order to set the isMobile or hasTouch properties.

  deviceScaleFactor: 1,
});
