=========
[Headless Chromium](https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/lkgr/headless/README.md)-based modular web performance metrics collector. And why phantomas? Well, [because](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fantômas) :)
## Requirements
* [NodeJS](http://nodejs.org) 16+
## Installation
#### Via npm
```
npm install phantomas
```
> This will install [a recent version of Chromium](https://github.com/GoogleChrome/puppeteer#installation) supported by `puppeteer` module.
#### Via Docker
You can use [phantomas Docker image](https://hub.docker.com/r/macbre/phantomas):
```
docker pull macbre/phantomas:latest
```
Or you can fetch from [GitHub's Containers registry](https://github.com/macbre/phantomas/pkgs/container/phantomas)
```
docker pull ghcr.io/macbre/phantomas:latest
```
## Support
[](https://xscode.com/macbre/phantomas)
**You can get [support for phantomas](https://xscode.com/macbre/phantomas) via xs:code.**
## Usage example
```js
const phantomas = require('phantomas'),
promise = phantomas('http://example.com/');
promise.
then(results => {
console.log('Metrics', results.getMetrics());
console.log('Offenders', results.getAllOffenders());
}).
catch(res => {
console.error(res);
});
// events handling
promise.on('recv', response => {
console.log('Response: %s %s [%s]', response.method, response.url, response.contentType);
});
// including the custom one emitted by phantomas modules
promise.on('domQuery', (type, query) => {
console.log('DOM query by %s - "%s"', type, query);
});
```
Or run `./examples/index.js`.
### Development version
To get the latest development version of phantomas (and install all required dependencies):
```
git clone [email protected]:macbre/phantomas.git
npm install
```
#### Running tests
First you need to start a local nginx container that will serve static assets used by integration tests suite. Then simply run `npm t`:
```
./test/server-start.sh
npm t
```
All pull requests that are filed for this repository will have tests run via GitHub Actions.
## Having problems?
Please refer to **[/Troubleshooting.md](https://github.com/macbre/phantomas/blob/devel/Troubleshooting.md)**
## Features
* modular approach - each metric is generated by a separate "module"
* phantomas "core" acts as an events emitter that each module can hook into
* in-depth metrics such as: number of events bound via jQuery, calls to ``window.write``or [complex and duplicated CSS selectors (via analyze-css)](https://github.com/macbre/analyze-css)
* JSON as an output format
* easy integration with other nodejs projects via CommonJS module ([see API docs](https://github.com/macbre/phantomas/wiki/npm-module))
* metrics can be emitted from JavaScript code of the page phantomas is run against (thanks to [helper functions available in window.__phantomas](https://github.com/macbre/phantomas/wiki/Phantomas-scope))
* device profiles allow phantomas to emulate mobile or tablet (by setting a proper user agent and viewport)

## Usage
phantomas comes as a **CommonJS module** ([see API docs](https://github.com/macbre/phantomas/wiki/npm-module)) that you can use in your nodejs projects.
You can also use it as a **command line tool**. Run `phantomas -h` for more details.
