# capture-all

Flexible utility to get screenshots from Web pages

## Install

```sh
$ npm i capture-all
# or
$ yarn add capture-all
```

## Example

```js
const { captureAll } = require('capture-all')
const fs = require('fs')

captureAll([
{
// Web page URL which will be captured
url: 'https://www.google.com/',

// Selector for capturing element
target: 'body',

// Selectors to hide from capture (add `visibility: hidden;` to the elements)
hidden: ['#gb'],

// Selectors to remove from capture (add `display: none;` to the elements)
remove: ['#fbar'],

// Delay (milliseconds) before taking screenshot
delay: 3000,

// Viewport size of a browser
viewport: {
width: 1024,
height: 800
}
}
]).then(results => {
results.forEach((result, i) => {
fs.writeFileSync(`result-${i}.png`, result.image)
})
})
```

## Hooking Capturing Processing

You can define detailed behavior of the capturing processing with `capture` option. The `capture` option is an function receving [Puppeteer's `Page` instance](https://github.com/puppeteer/puppeteer/blob/v5.2.1/docs/api.md#class-page) as the 1st argument and a capturing function as the 2nd argument. You have to call the 2nd argument function by your hand when you specify `capture` option.

```js

const { captureAll } = require('capture-all')
const fs = require('fs')

captureAll([
{
url: 'https://www.google.com/',
target: 'body',
viewport: {
width: 1024,
height: 800
},

// Define the behavior around capturing
capture: async (page, capture) => {
// Click a button in the page by using Puppeteer API
const button = await page.$('#some-button')
await button.click()

// Capture the page at this moment
await capture()

// Click the button again
await button.click()

// Capture the page again
await capture()
}
}
]).then(results => {
results.forEach((result, i) => {
fs.writeFileSync(`result-${i}.png`, result.image)
})
})
```

## API

### `captureAll(targets: CaptureTarget[], options?: CaptureOptions): Promise`

Capture screenshots of Web pages which specified by `targets` and return an array of `CaptureResult` object including captured image buffer.

`CaptureTarget` may have the following properties:

* `url`: Web page URL which will be captured (required)
* `target`: a selector for capturing element
* `hidden`: an array of selector to hide matched elements from captured image
* `remove`: an array of selector to remove matched elements from captured image
* `disableCssAnimation`: `true` if css animations / transitions are to be disabled. (default: `true`)
* `delay`: Delay (milliseconds) before taking screenshot
* `viewport`: viewport size of browser
* `capture`: You can hook the capturing processing by using this option. See [Hooking Capturing Processing](#hooking-capturing-processing) for details.

`CaptureOptions` may have the following properties:

* `concurrency`: a number of process which will be created for capture
* `puppeteer`: an object passed to [`puppeteer.launch`](https://github.com/GoogleChrome/puppeteer/blob/master/docs/api.md#puppeteerlaunchoptions)

`CaptureResult` has the following properties:

* `index`: Index of capture results generated by the same `CaptureTarget`. The result can be more than one if you specify `capture` option.
* `image`: captured image buffer
* `url`: captured Web page URL
* `target`: a selector of captured element
* `hidden`: an array of selector which is hidden from captured image
* `remove`: an array of selector which is removed from captured image
* `disableCssAnimation`: `true` if css animations / transitions are to be disabled
* `delay`: Delay (milliseconds) before taking screenshot
* `viewport`: viewport size of browser

### `createCaptureStream(targets: CaptureTarget[], options?: CaptureOptions): ReadableStream`

Similar to `captureAll` but returns readable stream of `CaptureResult` instead.
