Using Node v7.9.0+ you can run the above example with node file.js
See examples folder for more ways to use this module.
You can quickly test any website with phantomjs-node without needing to install the package.
$ npx phantom@latest https://stackoverflow.com/
The above command is very useful to test if your website works on older browsers. I frequently use it to ensure polyfills have been installed correctly.
Latest version of phantom does require Node v6.x and later. You can install with
$ npm install phantom --save
To use version 3.x you need to have at least Node v5+. You can install it using
$ npm install phantom@3 --save
$ npm install phantom@2 --save
Creating new phantom instances with phantom.create()
can be slow. If
you are frequently creating new instances and destroying them, as a
result of HTTP requests for example, it might be worth creating a pool
of instances that are re-used.
See the phantom-pool module for more info.
To run the test suite, first install the dependencies, then run npm test
:
$ npm install
$ npm test
This package is under development. Pull requests are welcomed. Please make sure tests are added for new functionalities and that your build does pass in TravisCI.
