web-automate

web-automate is a browser automation library. Used for testing

web applications with selenium. web-automate provides you to use some selenium functionality in a easy way. By using web-automate you can do fast and clean code at some level.

Installation

web-automate may be installed via npm with

npm install web-automate

To use web-automate you don't need to download additional resources. You will only need the selenium-webdriver and drivers for Chrome, Firefox, and Microsoft's IE and Edge web

browsers are all standalone executables that should be placed on your system

Browser	Component
Chrome	chromedriver(.exe)
Internet Explorer	IEDriverServer.exe
Edge	MicrosoftWebDriver.msi
Firefox	geckodriver(.exe)
Safari	safaridriver

Usage

The sample below and others are included in the example directory. You may

also find the web-driver informative by using selenium-webdriver.

const { Builder } = require("selenium-webdriver");
const { findElement, closeBrowser, navigateTo } = require("web-automate");
(async function example() {
  let driver = await new Builder().forBrowser("chromes").build();
  try {
    await navigateTo(driver, "http://www.google.com/ncr");
    const webElement = await findElement(driver, { name: "q" });
    webElement.sendKeys("Hello World");
  } finally {
    await closeBrowser(driver);
  }
})();

Use with binder Api

By using the binder api in web-automate you do not have to use driver again and again. Pass the driver as argument to binder api once and use all the web-automate api. You can also use the other api's without binder api by above way. See the documentation to use the binder api.

const { Builder } = require("selenium-webdriver");
 
const { binder } = require("web-automate");
const { findElement, closeBrowser, navigateTo } = binder(driver);
(async function example() {
  let driver = await new Builder().forBrowser("chromes").build();
 
  try {
    await navigateTo("http://www.google.com/ncr");
 
    const webElement = await findElement({ name: "q" });
 
    webElement.sendKeys("Hello World");
  } finally {
    await closeBrowser();
  }
})();
