PuppeteerNode class
Extends the main Puppeteer class with Node specific behaviour for fetching and downloading browsers.
If you're using Puppeteer in a Node environment, this is the class you'll get when you run require('puppeteer') (or the equivalent ES import).
Signature:
export declare class PuppeteerNode extends Puppeteer
Extends: Puppeteer
Remarks
The most common method to use is launch, which is used to launch and connect to a new browser instance.
See the main Puppeteer class for methods common to all environments, such as Puppeteer.connect().
The constructor for this class is marked as internal. Third-party code should not call the constructor directly or create subclasses that extend the PuppeteerNode class.
Example
The following is a typical example of using Puppeteer to drive automation:
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');
(async () => {
const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.goto('https://www.google.com');
// other actions...
await browser.close();
})();
Once you have created a page you have access to a large API to interact with the page, navigate, or find certain elements in that page. The `page` documentation lists all the available methods.
