HEADLESS BROWSER EXPERIMENTS A short journey about taking screenshots with
headless browsers Christian Bäuerlein / @fabrik42
A headless browser is a web browser without a graphical
user interface.
PhantomJS SlimerJS CasperJS many more!
USE CASES Running test suites Web scraping / Automation Taking
screenshots
TAKING SCREENSHOTS
The project: A desktop website that lets users create a
custom mobile web app.
The challenges: How to render a list of created apps?
How to share your creations with others?
HTML IS NOT SHAREABLE URLs are easy to share. Textual
content is easy to share. Visual representations in HTML are not easy to share. But images are :)
SCREENSHOTS!
None
None
PHANTOMJS 1.X Good Just one binary Not So Good Project
was somehow stalled Bad No web font support :(
PHANTOMJS 2.0! Including web font support! *yay* Let's try again...
PROBLEM Present your work on a web page to somebody
who can't access it right now.
RESPONSIVE MOCKUPS github.com/fabrik42/responsive_mockups
RESPONSIVE MOCKUPS Takes screenshots of a webpage in different resolutions
and automatically applies it to mockup templates.

REQUIREMENTS Easy to install. No dependencies, if possible. Nice templates
to start right away.
EASY INSTALLATION brew install phantomjs git clone [responsive_mockups] && cd
responsive_mockups phantomjs example.js
EXAMPLE.JS var mockup = require('./index'); mockup.create({ url: 'https://flinc.org/home', template: 'flat_responsive_2',
output: 'my_mockup.png' });
HOW IT WORKS 1. User provides URL and template name.
2. PhantomJS generates screenshots based on different viewports. 3. PhantomJS assembles mockup image using a local HTML file and <canvas>.

DEMO TIME!
http://phantomjs.org/supported-web-standards.html WebGL CSS 3D Video and Audio The following features,
due to the nature of PhantomJS, are irrelevant:
None
Atom Editor Visual Studio Code Slack Mapbox Map Designer ...
nightmare.js!
Knows how to WebGL :)
None
ONE MORE THING...
Now that we mastered all kind of images, what about...
MOVIES!
None
STOP MOTION IN HTML & JS Create an animation Stop
at every frame Make a screenshot Go to the next frame
DEMO TIME!
Remember: We wanted to make things shareable.
CUSTOMIZED MOVIES!
Manipulate the movie while rendering the frames browser .evaluate(function (currentFrame)
{ stage.goto(currentFrame); }, currentFrame)
ADVANCED DEMO TIME!
