What is browserstack-local?

The browserstack-local npm package allows you to establish a secure connection between your local machine and the BrowserStack cloud. This enables you to test your web applications hosted on your local server or behind a firewall using BrowserStack's real device cloud.

What are browserstack-local's main functionalities?

Start Local Testing

This feature allows you to start a local testing connection with BrowserStack. You need to provide your BrowserStack access key to establish the connection. Once the connection is established, you can run your tests and then stop the connection.

const browserstack = require('browserstack-local');

const bs_local = new browserstack.Local();
const bs_local_args = { 'key': 'YOUR_ACCESS_KEY' };

bs_local.start(bs_local_args, function(error) {
  if (error) return console.log(error);
  console.log('Started BrowserStackLocal');

  // Your test code here

  bs_local.stop(function() {
    console.log('Stopped BrowserStackLocal');
  });
});

Stop Local Testing

This feature allows you to stop the local testing connection. It is important to stop the connection after your tests are completed to ensure that no unnecessary resources are being used.

bs_local.stop(function() {
  console.log('Stopped BrowserStackLocal');
});

Check Local Testing Status

This feature allows you to check if the local testing connection is currently running. It returns a boolean value indicating the status of the connection.

console.log(bs_local.isRunning());
