# Web Driver Checker and Fetcher [WeDriveCheF]

### (Suggest a better name, thanks!)

As the title says, this tiny module's only job is to check for suitable `web_driver` on your PC for ease of use.

## Usage:

- Before using make sure you run the `requirements.txt` by using the command:  

`pip install -r requirements.txt`

```python

# Enter your URL here or directly inside the `get` function

URL = "https://pixincreate.github.io"

# Call the webdriver on your code by typing the below command

# This assigns the suitable driver found on your PC

# Put head_mode as `headless` if you want it to be headless,

# Else, give it any random value within quotes.

driver = web_driver(head_mode)

# Web driver opens up the link with desired head_mode in incognito / private mode. 

driver.get(URL)

# Make sure you use the below command once you're done with your work, else

# it'll remain active in the background drain battery and memory

driver.quit()

```

## Working:

- When you call the function `web_driver` and assign it to a `driver`, it initially goes through all your installed applications

  - No need to worry, none of your data is transmitted

- It checks for these below given browsers:

  - Brave 

  - Brave Nightly

  - Firefox

  - Google Chrome (I don't recommend using it as it is found to be insecure based on numerous reports and it is a threat to user-privacy)

-  If the browser is Brave, it assigns its binary file, if chrome or firefox, raises a flag as they're natively supported by `selenium`

- Depending on the browser type, the `driver` is assigned with `incognito/private` as the argument

  - In case, the driver doesn't exist or outdated, it automatically opens up the default web browsers to download the latest `web_driver.exe` file (you've to download this manually!)

- This `driver` is then returned to the `calling function / method` which later calls for the URL.

## Requirements:

- Operating System: Windows _(Tested only on Windows)_

- Python Version: `3.5+` (`3.10+` preferred)

- Packages Required: WinApps, Selenium (Get's installed upon running `requirements.txt`)
