# node-headless-chromium

Install precompiled versions of the Chromium/Chrome [headless shell](https://cs.chromium.org/chromium/src/headless/app/headless_shell.cc) using npm or yarn. Yay.

*Warning*: This is a work-in-progress

## Installation

```bash

yarn add headless-chromium

```

## Supported Platforms

Currently works on:

- [x] Linux Ubuntu x64

- [ ] Windows (not yet supported by Headless Chromium)

## CLI Usage

```bash

headless-chromium

```

## Programatic Usage

```js

import { path, spawn } from 'headless-chromium'

// will print something similar to /Users/marco/.../headless-shell

console.log(path)

// start headless chromium

await spawn(options)

```

## Limitations / Known Issues

- binaries are prebuilt which means you trust that I didn't insert any malicious code into the chrome binaries.

- Building the chrome binary requires accepting the EULA for fonts. By using this package, you agree to also accept the EULA for fonts.
