⁠Puppeteer

Puppeteer⁠ (Chrome headless node API) based web page renderer.

Useful server side rendering through proxy. Outputs HTML, PDF and screenshots as PNG or JPEG.

⁠Requirements

Docker

⁠Start server using docker.

docker run -d --name renderer -p 8080:3000 digitalist/alpine-puppeteer-renderer

⁠Test on your browser

Input url http://localhost:8080/?url=https://www.google.com

If you can see a html page (yes it will be broken - not the same for pdf and screenshots), server works fine.

⁠Integration with existing service.

If you have active service, set proxy configuration with middleware. See puppeteer-renderer-middleware⁠ for express.

const renderer = require('puppeteer-renderer-middleware');

const app = express();

app.use(renderer({
  url: 'http://installed-your-puppeteer-renderer-url',
  // userAgentPattern: /My-Custom-Agent/i,
  // excludeUrlPattern: /*.html$/i
  // timeout: 30 * 1000,
}));

// your service logics..

app.listen(8080);
