What is puppeteer?
puppeteer - Headless Chrome Node API
What can I do? Most things that you can do manually in the browser can be done using Puppeteer! Here are a few examples to get you started:
Generate screenshots and PDFs of pages. Crawl a SPA and generate pre-rendered content (i.e. "SSR"). Scrape content from websites. Automate form submission, UI testing, keyboard input, etc. Create an up-to-date, automated testing environment. Run your tests directly in the latest version of Chrome using the latest JavaScript and browser features. Capture a timeline trace of your site to help diagnose performance issues.
