# 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
```

    test "works", %{browser: browser} do
      page = Playwright.Browser.new_page(browser)

      Playwright.Page.goto(page, "https://playwright.dev")
      text = Playwright.Page.text_content(page, ".navbar__title")
