- v3.3
- Initial public release


playwright-extra and most plugins are written in TS, so you get perfect type support out of the box. :)

`ts
// playwright-extra is a drop-in replacement for playwright,
// it augments the installed playwright with plugin functionality
import { chromium } from 'playwright-extra'

// Load the stealth plugin and use defaults (all tricks to hide playwright usage)
// Note: playwright-extra is compatible with most puppeteer-extra plugins
import StealthPlugin from 'puppeteer-extra-plugin-stealth'

// Add the plugin to playwright (any number of plugins can be added)
chromium.use(StealthPlugin())

// ...(the rest of the quickstart code example is the same)
chromium.launch({ headless: true }).then(async browser => {
const page = await browser.newPage()

console.log('Testing the stealth plugin..')
await page.goto('https://bot.sannysoft.com', { waitUntil: 'networkidle' })
await page.screenshot({ path: 'stealth.png', fullPage: true })

console.log('All done, check the screenshot. ✨')
await browser.close()
})
`

New to Typescript? Here it is in 30 seconds or less 😄:

`bash


Optional: If you don't have yarn yet

Now place the example code above in src/index.ts

Run the typescript code without the need of compiling it first

`ts
// Any browser supported by playwright can be used with plugins
import { chromium, firefox, webkit } from 'playwright-extra'

chromium.use(plugin)
firefox.use(plugin)
webkit.use(plugin)
`

Node.js imports are cached, therefore the default chromium, firefox, webkit export from playwright-extra will always return the same playwright instance.

`ts
// Use addExtra to create a fresh and independent instance
import playwright from 'playwright'
import { addExtra } from 'playwright-extra'

const chromium1 = addExtra(playwright.chromium)
const chromium2 = addExtra(playwright.chromium)

chromium1.use(onePlugin)
chromium2.use(anotherPlugin)
// chromium1 and chromium2 are independent
`

`js
// The stealth plugin is optimized for chromium based browsers currently
import { chromium } from 'playwright-extra'

import StealthPlugin from 'puppeteer-extra-plugin-stealth'
chromium.use(StealthPlugin())

// New way to overwrite the default options of stealth evasion plugins
// https://github.com/berstend/puppeteer-extra/tree/master/packages/puppeteer-extra-plugin-stealth/evasions
chromium.plugins.setDependencyDefaults('stealth/evasions/webgl.vendor', {
vendor: 'Bob',
renderer: 'Alice'
})

// That's it, the rest is playwright usage as normal 😊
chromium.launch({ headless: true }).then(async browser => {
const page = await browser.newPage()

console.log('Testing the webgl spoofing feature of the stealth plugin..')
await page.goto('https://webglreport.com', { waitUntil: 'networkidle' })
await page.screenshot({ path: 'webgl.png', fullPage: true })

console.log('All done, check the screenshot. ✨')
await browser.close()
})
`

`js
// Any browser (chromium, webkit, firefox) can be used
import { firefox } from 'playwright-extra'

import RecaptchaPlugin from 'puppeteer-extra-plugin-recaptcha'
firefox.use(
RecaptchaPlugin({
provider: {
id: '2captcha',
token: process.env.TWOCAPTCHA_TOKEN || 'YOUR_API_KEY'
}
})
)

// Works in headless as well, just so you can see it in action
firefox.launch({ headless: false }).then(async browser => {
const context = await browser.newContext()
const page = await context.newPage()
const url = 'https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api2/demo'
await page.goto(url, { waitUntil: 'networkidle' })

console.log('Solving captchas..')
await page.solveRecaptchas()

await Promise.all([
page.waitForNavigation({ waitUntil: 'networkidle' }),
page.click(#recaptcha-demo-submit)
])

const content = await page.content()
const isSuccess = content.includes('Verification Success')
console.log('Done', { isSuccess })
await browser.close()
})
