Puppeteer Go

============

Just a simple API to script puppeteer, all it does is load a URL and then let you run a function against the page once it has loaded. 

That is all.

Usage

-----

1. Install

`npm i puppeteer-go`

2. Include

`const {go} = require('puppeteer-go');`

3. Use

``` JavaScript

/*

 page - the Page instance returned from puppeteer

 browser - the Browser instance returned from puppeteer

*/

const callback = (page, browser) { ... };

go(url, callback)

```

Why does this exist?

--------------------

I like building little scripts to automate actions on the web with puppeteer but I kept forgetting the stanza to start a session, browser to a page ... that and my fingers kept getting tired.

Examples

--------

1. Screen shotting elements on a page

```JavaScript

const {go} = require('puppeteer-go');

go('https://paul.kinlan.me', async (page) => {

    const elements = await page.$$("h1");

    let count = 0;

    for(let element of elements) {

      try {

        await element.screenshot({ path: `${count++}.png`});

      } catch (err) {

        console.log(count, err);

      }

    }

});

```
