Support for Playwright running on AWS Lambda and Google Cloud Functions.
NOTE: Currently only Chromium is supported.
npm install playwright-core playwright-aws-lambda --save
This package works with the nodejs10.x, nodejs12.x, nodejs14.x, nodejs16.x, nodejs18.x and nodejs20.x AWS Lambda runtimes
out of the box.
const playwright = require('playwright-aws-lambda'); exports.handler = async (event, context) => { let browser = null; try { browser = await playwright.launchChromium(); const context = await browser.newContext(); const page = await context.newPage(); await page.goto(event.url || 'https://example.com'); console.log('Page title: ', await page.title()); } catch (error) { throw error; } finally { if (browser) { await browser.close(); } } };

|---|---|---|
launchChromium |
{!Promise<playwright.ChromiumBrowser>} |

If you need custom font support by e.g. emojicons in your browser, you have to
load it by using the loadFont(url: string) function before you launch the
browser.
await loadFont( 'https://raw.githack.com/googlei18n/noto-emoji/master/fonts/NotoColorEmoji.ttf' );
This project is based on the work of chrome-aws-lambda.
