# NAME

Wight - Communicate with PhantomJS

# SYNOPSIS

    use Wight;

    my $wight = Wight->new;

    $wight->visit('http://example.com/');

    $wight->evaluate('document.title'); # => evaluates JavaScript expression

    $wight->find('//a[@rel="next"]')->click;

# DESCRIPTION

Wight provides methods for operating PhantomJS from Perl,

especially intended to be used testing web application.

For client side scripting, uses [poltergeist](https://github.com/jonleighton/poltergeist)'s JavaScript.

# WARNING

__This module is currently under development and interfaces are

subject to change.__

# INITIALIZATION

    my $wight = Wight->new(%args);

_%args_ accepts keys below:

- autorun => 1

    Automatically runs PhantomJS and waits for it.

    Defaults to true, otherwise you will call `handshake` explicitly.

- phantomjs => 'phantomjs'

    Specifies PhantomJS command. Defaults to 'phantomjs'.

- cookie\_jar => $HTTP\_Cookies

    Supply browser cookies.

# BROWSER METHODS

Every method croaks if the operation failed.

- $wight->visit($path)

    Opens a web page.

- my $result = $wight->evaluate($javascript\_expression)

    Evaluates a JavaScript expression and returns its result.

- $wight->execute($javascript\_statement)

    Executes JavaScript statements.

- my $node  = $wight->find($xpath)

- my @nodes = $wight->find($xpath)

    Finds a node within current page and returns a (list of) [Wight::Node](http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Wight::Node).

- $wight->render($file)

    Renders current page to local file.

- $wight->set\_headers(\\%headers)

    Set request headers.

# NODE METHODS

Every method croaks if the operation was failed.

- $node->click

- my $text = $node->text

- $node->set($value)

# INITIALIZATION METHODS

- my $port = $wight->spawn\_psgi($file\_or\_code)

    Forks and runs specified PSGI application.

    Sets its `base_url` to "http://localhost:_$port_/".

- $wight->handshake

    Starts PhantomJS and waits for communication established.

    After this, you can call BROWSER METHODS above.

- $wight->base\_url($url);

# UTILITY METHODS

- $wight->sleep($secs)

- $wight->wait\_until(\\&code)

    Stops execution until _code_ returns a true value.
