The library, intentionally conservative in the use of ES5+ features, plays nicely

|
with most headless browsers. This demo shows a few common headless scenarios.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## PhantomJS
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This was tested in phantomjs 2.1.1, installed using the node module:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
|
$ npm install -g phantomjs
|
|
|
|
|
$ phantomjs phantomjs.js
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## wkhtmltopdf
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This was tested in wkhtmltopdf 0.12.4, installed using the official binaries:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
|
$ wkhtmltopdf --javascript-delay 60000 http://localhost:8000/ test.pdf
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Puppeteer
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This was tested in puppeteer 0.9.0 and Chromium r494755, installed using node:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
|
$ npm install puppeteer
|
|
|
|
|
$ node puppeteer.js
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Since the main process is node, the read and write features should be placed in
|
|
|
|
|
the webpage. The `dist` versions are suitable for web pages.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## SlimerJS
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This was tested in slimerjs 0.10.3 and FF 52.0, installed using `brew` on OSX:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
|
$ brew install slimerjs
|
|
|
|
|
$ slimerjs slimerjs.js
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
