🚨 This project is not maintained anymore
========================================

[](#-this-project-is-not-maintained-anymore)

As I write these lines, it's been nearly two years since the latest release of PuPHPeteer. Despite the enthusiasm around this project, I no longer have the motivation to support its development, mainly because it never really had any use to me. So its time to be honest with you, PuPHPeteer is no longer maintained.

However, here's a list of forks maintained by the community:

- [zoonru/puphpeteer](https://github.com/zoonru/puphpeteer)
- [NigelCunningham/puphpeteer](https://github.com/NigelCunningham/puphpeteer)

If you create a fork and plan to maintain it, let me know and I will link it here.

A [Puppeteer](https://github.com/GoogleChrome/puppeteer/) bridge for PHP, supporting the entire API. Based on [Rialto](https://github.com/nesk/rialto/), a package to manage Node resources from PHP.

Here are some examples [borrowed from Puppeteer's documentation](https://github.com/GoogleChrome/puppeteer/blob/master/README.md#usage) and adapted to PHP's syntax:

**Example** - navigating to  and saving a screenshot as *example.png*:

```
use Nesk\Puphpeteer\Puppeteer;

$puppeteer = new Puppeteer;
$browser = $puppeteer->launch();

$page = $browser->newPage();
$page->goto('https://example.com');
$page->screenshot(['path' => 'example.png']);

$browser->close();
```

**Example** - evaluate a script in the context of the page:

```
use Nesk\Puphpeteer\Puppeteer;
use Nesk\Rialto\Data\JsFunction;

$puppeteer = new Puppeteer;

$browser = $puppeteer->launch();
$page = $browser->newPage();
$page->goto('https://example.com');

// Get the "viewport" of the page, as reported by the page.
$dimensions = $page->evaluate(JsFunction::createWithBody("
    return {
        width: document.documentElement.clientWidth,
        height: document.documentElement.clientHeight,
        deviceScaleFactor: window.devicePixelRatio
    };
"));

printf('Dimensions: %s', print_r($dimensions, true));

$browser->close();
```

Requirements and installation
-----------------------------

[](#requirements-and-installation)

This package requires PHP >= 7.3 and Node >= 8.

Install it with these two command lines:

```
composer require nesk/puphpeteer
npm install @nesk/puphpeteer
```

Notable differences between PuPHPeteer and Puppeteer
----------------------------------------------------

[](#notable-differences-between-puphpeteer-and-puppeteer)

### Puppeteer's class must be instantiated

[](#puppeteers-class-must-be-instantiated)

Instead of requiring Puppeteer:

```
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');
```

You have to instantiate the `Puppeteer` class:

```
$puppeteer = new Puppeteer;
```

This will create a new Node process controlled by PHP.

You can also pass some options to the constructor, see [Rialto's documentation](https://github.com/nesk/rialto/blob/master/docs/api.md#options). PuPHPeteer also extends these options:

```
[
    // Logs the output of Browser's console methods (console.log, console.debug, etc...) to the PHP logger
    'log_browser_console' => false,
]
```

**⏱ Want to use some timeouts higher than 30 seconds in Puppeteer's API?**
If you use some timeouts higher than 30 seconds, you will have to set a higher value for the `read_timeout` option (default: `35`):

```
$puppeteer = new Puppeteer([
    'read_timeout' => 65, // In seconds
]);

$puppeteer->launch()->newPage()->goto($url, [
    'timeout' => 60000, // In milliseconds
]);
```

### No need to use the `await` keyword

[](#no-need-to-use-the-await-keyword)

With PuPHPeteer, every method call or property getting/setting is synchronous.

### Some methods have been aliased

[](#some-methods-have-been-aliased)

The following methods have been aliased because PHP doesn't support the `$` character in method names:

- `$` => `querySelector`
- `$$` => `querySelectorAll`
- `$x` => `querySelectorXPath`
- `$eval` => `querySelectorEval`
- `$$eval` => `querySelectorAllEval`

Use these aliases just like you would have used the original methods:

```
$divs = $page->querySelectorAll('div');
```

### Evaluated functions must be created with `JsFunction`

[](#evaluated-functions-must-be-created-with-jsfunction)

Functions evaluated in the context of the page must be written [with the `JsFunction` class](https://github.com/nesk/rialto/blob/master/docs/api.md#javascript-functions), the body of these functions must be written in JavaScript instead of PHP.

```
use Nesk\Rialto\Data\JsFunction;

$pageFunction = JsFunction::createWithParameters(['element'])
    ->body("return element.textContent");
```

### Exceptions must be caught with `->tryCatch`

[](#exceptions-must-be-caught-with--trycatch)

If an error occurs in Node, a `Node\FatalException` will be thrown and the process closed, you will have to create a new instance of `Puppeteer`.

To avoid that, you can ask Node to catch these errors by prepending your instruction with `->tryCatch`:

```
use Nesk\Rialto\Exceptions\Node;

try {
    $page->tryCatch->goto('invalid_url');
} catch (Node\Exception $exception) {
    // Handle the exception...
}
```

Instead, a `Node\Exception` will be thrown, the Node process will stay alive and usable.
