# Playwright for Elixir
**NOTE:** This package is currently in "preview" (or "alpha"). The features are not yet at parity with other Playwright implementations. Once `playwright-elixir` is at or near parity with [`playwright`](https://github.com/microsoft/playwright), the version number will be updated to mirror the supported version of `playwright`.
## Overview
[Playwright](https://github.com/mechanical-orchard/playwright-elixir) is an Elixir library to automate Chromium, Firefox and WebKit with a single API. Playwright is built to enable cross-browser web automation that is **ever-green**, **capable**, **reliable** and **fast**. [See how Playwright is better](https://playwright.dev/docs/why-playwright).
## Installation
The package can be installed by adding `playwright` to your list of dependencies in `mix.exs`:
```elixir
def deps do
[
{:playwright, "~> 1.49.1-alpha.1"}
]
end
```
