# cdp-hs

A Haskell library for the [Chrome Devtools Protocol (CDP)](https://chromedevtools.github.io/devtools-protocol/), generated from the protocol's definition files.

## Example usage

Ensure Chrome is running with the remote debugging port enabled:

```
$ chromium --headless --remote-debugging-port=9222 https://wikipedia.com
```

The following program can be used to print a page to PDF, with Base64 encoded data being read in chunks:

```hs
{-# LANGUAGE OverloadedStrings #-}

module Main where

import Data.Maybe
import Data.Default
import qualified Data.ByteString.Base64.Lazy as Base64
import qualified Data.ByteString.Lazy as BL
import qualified Data.Text as T
import qualified Data.Text.Lazy as TL
import qualified Data.Text.Lazy.Encoding as TL

import qualified CDP as CDP

main :: IO ()
main = CDP.runClient def printPDF

printPDF :: CDP.Handle -> IO ()
printPDF handle = do
-- send the Page.printToPDF command
r <- CDP.sendCommandWait handle $ CDP.pPagePrintToPDF
{ CDP.pPagePrintToPDFTransferMode = Just CDP.PPagePrintToPDFTransferModeReturnAsStream
}

-- obtain stream handle from which to read pdf data
let streamHandle = fromJust . CDP.pagePrintToPDFStream $ r

-- read pdf data 24000 bytes at a time
let params = CDP.PIORead streamHandle Nothing $ Just 24000
reads <- whileTrue (not . CDP.iOReadEof) $ CDP.sendCommandWait handle params
let dat = map decode reads
BL.writeFile "mypdf.pdf" $ BL.concat dat

decode :: CDP.IORead -> BL.ByteString
decode ior = if (CDP.iOReadBase64Encoded ior == Just True)
then Base64.decodeLenient lbs
else lbs
where
lbs = TL.encodeUtf8 . TL.fromStrict . CDP.iOReadData $ ior

whileTrue :: Monad m => (a -> Bool) -> m a -> m [a]
whileTrue f act = do
a <- act
if f a
then pure . (a :) =<< whileTrue f act
else pure [a]

```

More examples can be found in `examples`.

## Generating the CDP library

```
cabal run cdp-gen
```

## Current state

[Project board](https://github.com/users/arsalan0c/projects/1)

Commands and events for all non-deprecated domains are supported.

Sessions can also be created with a target (such as a tab), which can be used to restrict the scope of commands and events for the target.
See `examples/sessions.hs` for example usage.

This began as a [Summer of Haskell](https://summer.haskell.org) / [GSoC](https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com) project. Albert Krewinkel ([@tarleb](https://github.com/tarleb)), Jasper Van der Jeugt ([@jaspervdj](https://github.com/jaspervdj)) and Romain Lesur ([@RLesur](https://github.com/rlesur)) provided valuable feedback and support which along with raising the library's quality, has made this all the more enjoyable to work on.
