### class: Browser
Browser manages a browser instance, creating it with a predefined
settings, opening and closing pages. Instantiating Browser class does
not necessarily result in launching browser; the instance will be launched when the need will arise.
2017-07-13 22:54:37 +00:00
A typical scenario of using [Browser] is opening a new page and navigating it to a desired URL:
```js
const {Browser} = require('puppeteer');
const browser = new Browser();
browser.newPage().then(async page => {
await page.navigate('https://example.com');
browser.close();
})
```
2017-06-13 07:28:29 +00:00
2017-07-13 22:54:37 +00:00
#### new Browser([options])

- `options` < [Object]> Set of configurable options to set on the browser. Can have the following fields:
- `headless` < [boolean]> Wether to run chromium in headless mode. Defaults to `true` .
- `executablePath` < [string]> Path to a chromium executable to run instead of bundled chromium.
- `args` < [Array]< [string]>> Additional arguments to pass to the chromium instance. List of chromium flags could be found [here ](http://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/ ).
2017-06-13 07:28:29 +00:00
2017-06-27 19:15:21 +00:00
#### browser.close()
2017-06-13 07:28:29 +00:00
2017-07-13 22:54:37 +00:00
Closes browser with all the pages (if any were opened). The browser object itself is considered to be disposed and could not be used anymore.
2017-06-13 07:28:29 +00:00
2017-07-12 00:01:58 +00:00
#### browser.closePage(page)
- `page` < [Page]> A page to be closed.
- returns: < [Promise]> Promise which resolves when the page is closed.
2017-06-13 07:28:29 +00:00
2017-07-13 22:54:37 +00:00
This is an alias for the `page.close()` method.
2017-06-13 07:28:29 +00:00
2017-07-13 22:54:37 +00:00
#### browser.newPage()

2017-07-12 15:01:21 +00:00
#### browser.stderr
- < [stream.Readable]>
A Readable Stream that represents the browser process's stderr.
2017-07-13 22:54:37 +00:00
For example, `stderr` could be piped into `process.stderr` :
```js
const {Browser} = require('puppeteer');
const browser = new Browser();
browser.stderr.pipe(process.stderr);
browser.version().then(version => {
console.log(version);
browser.close();
});
```
2017-07-12 15:01:21 +00:00
#### browser.stdout
- < [stream.Readable]>
A Readable Stream that represents the browser process's stdout.
2017-07-13 22:54:37 +00:00
For example, `stdout` could be piped into `process.stdout` :
```js
const {Browser} = require('puppeteer');
const browser = new Browser();
browser.stdout.pipe(process.stdout);
browser.version().then(version => {
console.log(version);
browser.close();
});
```

> **NOTE** the format of browser.version() is not fixed and might change with future releases of the library.
2017-07-14 05:52:02 +00:00
2017-06-13 07:28:29 +00:00
### class: Page
2017-07-13 22:54:37 +00:00
Page provides methods to interact with browser page. Page could be thought about as a browser tab, so one [Browser] instance might have multiple [Page] instances.
2017-06-13 07:28:29 +00:00
2017-07-13 22:54:37 +00:00
An example of creating a page, navigating it to a URL and saving screenshot as `screenshot.png` :
```js
const {Browser} = require('puppeteer');
const browser = new Browser();
2017-07-18 01:49:52 +00:00
browser.newPage().then(async page =>
2017-07-13 22:54:37 +00:00
await page.navigate('https://example.com');
await page.screenshot({path: 'screenshot.png'});
browser.close();
2017-06-13 07:28:29 +00:00
});
```

### class: Keyboard
Keyboard provides an api for managing a virtual keyboard. The high level api is [`keyboard.type` ](#keyboardtypetext ), which takes raw characters and generates proper keydown, keypress/input, and keyup events on your page.
For finer control, you can use press, release, and sendCharacter to manually fire events as if they were generated from a real keyboard.
An example of holding down `Shift` in order to select and delete some text:
```js
page.keyboard.type('Hello World!');
page.keyboard.press('ArrowLeft');
page.keyboard.hold('Shift');
for (let i = 0; i = 0; i < ' World'.length; i++)
page.keyboard.press('ArrowLeft');
page.keyboard.release('Shift');
page.keyboard.press('Backspace');
// Result text will end up saying 'Hello!'
```
#### keyboard.hold(key[, options])
- `key` < [string]> Name of key to press, such as `ArrowLeft` . See [KeyboardEvent.key ](https://www.w3.org/TR/uievents-key/ )
- `options` < [Object]>
- `text` < [string]> If specified, generates an input event with this text.
- returns: < [Promise]>
Dispatches a `keydown` event.
This will not send input events unless `text` is specified.
If `key` is a modifier key, `Shift` , `Meta` , `Control` , or `Alt` , subsequent key presses will be sent with that modifier active. To release the modifier key, use [`keyboard.release` ](#keyboardreleasekey ).
#### keyboard.modifiers()
- returns: < [Object]>
- `Shift` < [boolean]>
- `Meta` < [boolean]>
- `Control` < [boolean]>
- `Alt` < [boolean]>
Returns which modifier keys are currently active. Use [`keyboard.hold` ](#keyboardholdkey ) to activate a modifier key.
#### keyboard.press(key[, options])
- `key` < [string]> Name of key to press, such as `ArrowLeft` . See [KeyboardEvent.key ](https://www.w3.org/TR/uievents-key/ )

- returns: < [Promise]>
Shortcut for [`keyboard.hold` ](#keyboardholdkey ) and [`keyboard.release` ](#keyboardreleasekey ).
#### keyboard.release(key)
- `key` < [string]> Name of key to release, such as `ArrowLeft` . See [KeyboardEvent.key ](https://www.w3.org/TR/uievents-key/ )
- returns: < [Promise]>
Dispatches a `keyup` event.
#### keyboard.sendCharacter(char)
- `char` < [string]> Character to send into the page.
- returns: < [Promise]>
Dispatches a `keypress` and `input` event. This does not send a `keydown` or `keyup` event.
```js
page.keyboard.sendCharacter('嗨');
```
#### keyboard.type(text)
- `text` < [string]> Text to type into the page
- returns: < [Promise]>
Sends a `keydown` , `keypress` /`input`, and `keyup` event for each character in the text.
This is the suggested way to type printable characters.
```js
page.keyboard.type('Hello World!');
```
2017-06-27 19:15:21 +00:00
### class: Dialog
2017-07-14 20:03:21 +00:00
[Dialog] objects are dispatched by page via the ['dialog' ](#event-dialog ) event.
2017-07-17 18:02:13 +00:00
An example of using `Dialog` class:
```js
const {Browser} = require('puppeteer');
const browser = new Browser({headless: false});
browser.newPage().then(async page => {
page.on('dialog', dialog => {
console.log(dialog.message());
dialog.dismiss();
browser.close();
});
page.evaluate(() => alert('1'));
});
```

2017-06-27 19:15:21 +00:00
### class: Frame
2017-07-14 20:03:21 +00:00
At every point of time, page exposes its current frame tree via the [page.mainFrame() ](#pagemainframe ) and [frame.childFrames() ](#framechildframes ) methods.
[Frame] object's lifecycle is controlled by three events, dispatched on the page object:
- ['frameattached' ](#event-frameattached ) - fired when the frame gets attached to the page. Frame could be attached to the page only once.
- ['framenavigated' ](#event-framenavigated ) - fired when the frame commits navigation to a different URL.
- ['framedetached' ](#event-framedetached ) - fired when the frame gets detached from the page. Frame could be detached from the page only once.
2017-07-17 18:02:13 +00:00
An example of dumping frame tree:
```js
const {Browser} = new require('.');
const browser = new Browser({headless: true});
browser.newPage().then(async page => {
await page.navigate('https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/canary.html');
dumpFrameTree(page.mainFrame(), '');
browser.close();
function dumpFrameTree(frame, indent) {
console.log(indent + frame.url());

```js
const {Browser} = require('puppeteer');
const browser = new Browser();
2017-07-18 01:49:52 +00:00

### class: Request
2017-07-13 22:54:37 +00:00
2017-07-14 20:03:21 +00:00
Whenever the page sends a request, the following events are emitted by puppeteer's page:
- ['request' ](#event-request ) emitted when the request is issued by the page.
- ['response' ](#event-response ) emitted when/if the response is received for the request.
- ['requestfinished' ](#event-requestfinished ) emitted when the response body is downloaded and the request is complete.
If request fails at some point, then instead of 'requestfinished' event (and possibly instead of 'response' event), the ['requestfailed' ](#event-requestfailed ) event is emitted.
If request gets a 'redirect' response, the request is successfully finished with the 'requestfinished' event, and a new request is issued to a redirected url.
2017-07-13 22:54:37 +00:00
