const playwright = require('playwright-aws-lambda');

exports.handler = async (event, context) => {
  let browser = null;

  try {
    const browser = await playwright.launchChromium();
    const context = await browser.newContext();

    const page = await context.newPage();
    await page.goto(event.url || 'https://example.com');

    console.log('Page title: ', await page.title());
  } catch (error) {
    throw error;
  } finally {
    if (browser) {
      await browser.close();
    }
  }
};

API

Method / Property	Returns	Description
launchChromium	{!Promise<playwright.ChromiumBrowser>}	Launches the Chromium browser.
loadFont(url)	{Promise<void>}	Downloads and activates a custom font

Loading additional fonts

If you need custom font support by e.g. emojicons in your browser, you have to load it by using the loadFont(url: string) function before you launch the browser.

await loadFont(

);
