Usage

Programmatic

const System = require('airtap-system')
const system = new System()

// Get a list of desired browsers
const wanted = [{ name: 'firefox', version: 79 }]
const manifests = await system.manifests(wanted)

// Instantiate a browser
const target = { url: 'http://localhost:3000' }
const browser = system.browser(manifests[0], target)

await browser.open()

If you just want to open a single browser:

const browser = await system.open('chrome', 'https://example.com', {
  headless: false
})

Or find a single browser:

const manifest = await system.find({
  name: 'chrome',
  channel: 'canary',
  supports: { headless: true }
})
