height: 700 // Height of the device. **optional** (300 by default)
},
// The second parameter is a callback that takes a browser instance as an argument
function(browser) { /* ... */ }
);
Methods on the browser
object:
browser.do(function(driver) {
// The driver object can then be used with Selenium WebDriver
});
browser.takeScreenshot('example.png');
Manipulation with Selenium example :
var MobileBrowser = require('../lib/index.js').MobileBrowser;
var mobileBrowser = new MobileBrowser();
mobileBrowser.emulate({
url: 'https://www.google.com',
width: 300,
height: 700
}, function(browser) {
browser.do(function(driver) {
driver.getTitle().then(function(title) { // Selenium Webdriver Method
console.log(title);
});
});
});
Screenshot example:
var MobileBrowser = require('../lib/index.js').MobileBrowser;
var mobileBrowser = new MobileBrowser();
mobileBrowser.emulate({
url: 'https://www.google.com',

height: 700
}, function(browser) {
browser.takeScreenshot(__dirname + "/../screenshot.png");
