This package takes one page URL, finds archived captures for that exact page, renders selected captures through raw Wayback replay, and writes PNG frames plus a JSON manifest. It does not crawl a site. It does not follow links. It does not mirror sibling pages. If you ask for `https://example.com/page`, that page is the whole job. Installation ------------ [](#installation) ``` composer require odinns/laravel-wayback-flipbook npm install npx playwright install chromium ``` Laravel discovers the service provider automatically. The package depends on `odinns/laravel-wayback-machine` for CDX access and Wayback replay URL generation. Usage ----- [](#usage) Render one frame per year, oldest to newest: ``` php artisan wayback:flipbook https://example.com/page ``` Plan the run without screenshots: ``` php artisan wayback:flipbook https://example.com/page --dry-run --json ``` Render newest to oldest: ``` php artisan wayback:flipbook https://example.com/page --direction=newest-first ``` Bound a larger run: ``` php artisan wayback:flipbook https://example.com/page --sample=all --from=2020 --to=2024 ``` Write somewhere specific: ``` php artisan wayback:flipbook https://example.com/page --output=storage/app/page-history ``` Export an MP4 from an existing manifest and frames: ``` php artisan wayback:flipbook:export storage/app/page-history/manifest.json --fps=2 ``` MP4 export is a post-processing step. It reads the manifest, uses the PNG frame order already written there, and does not query Wayback or render screenshots again. It requires `ffmpeg` on your `PATH`. Default output: ``` storage/app/wayback-flipbook/{safe-page}/{run-timestamp}/ ``` Artifacts: ``` manifest.json frames/0001-20200101000000.png frames/0002-20210101000000.png ``` Command Options --------------- [](#command-options) ``` wayback:flipbook {url} --from= --to= --status=200 --mime=text/html --sample=first-per-year --direction=oldest-first --limit= --delay-ms=2000 --output= --viewport=1280x900 --full-page --timeout=60 --dry-run --json --force ``` ``` wayback:flipbook:export {manifest} --output= --fps=2 --force ``` Sampling modes: - `all` - `first-per-day` - `first-per-month` - `first-per-year` - `unique-digest` - `latest-per-url` `--sample=all` without `--limit`, `--from`, or `--to` is blocked unless you pass `--force`. Screenshot Defaults ------------------- [](#screenshot-defaults) Published config controls the default screenshot viewport, timeout, and Wayback delay: ``` return [ 'delay_ms' => 2000, 'viewport' => '1280x900', 'timeout' => 60, ]; ``` Command options override config for a single run: ``` php artisan wayback:flipbook https://example.com/page --viewport=1920x1080 --timeout=90 --delay-ms=1000 ``` Use `--full-page` when you want the whole page height. The width still comes from `--viewport`. If you plan to export MP4, prefer viewport screenshots. Full-page captures can produce frames with different heights across archived captures, and ffmpeg expects one stable frame size for video. This package does not scale, crop, or pad frames yet. Use `--full-page` only when you are fine handling that yourself. Laravel Surface --------------- [](#laravel-surface) The package registers two commands: ``` wayback:flipbook wayback:flipbook:export ``` It publishes one config file: ``` php artisan vendor:publish --tag=wayback-flipbook-config ``` There are no migrations, queues, views, routes, middleware, or facades. Development ----------- [](#development) ``` composer validate --strict composer test:all npm install npx playwright install chromium git diff --check ``` Versioning ---------- [](#versioning) Versions come from Git tags. Composer should not have a `version` field. Contributing ------------ [](#contributing) Keep the package page-targeted. Do not add crawling, host-wide exports, or animation formats as a casual side quest. MP4 export stays explicit and manifest-driven.
