Description:

In this JOSA Workshop, we will learn how to control and automate the browser using headless Chrome and Puppeteer.

Puppeteer is a Node library which provides a high-level API to control Chrome or Chromium over the DevTools Protocol. Most things that you can do manually in the browser can be done using Puppeteer! Here are a few use cases.

• Generate screenshots and PDFs of pages.
• Crawl a SPA (Single-Page Application) and generate pre-rendered content (i.e. "SSR" (Server-Side Rendering)).
• Automate form submission, UI testing, keyboard input, etc.
