Function layer

Creates a layer that configures scoped browser acquisition.

Details

Providing this layer does not launch a browser eagerly. A browser is launched when the browser effect is evaluated inside a scope. The layer also provides the underlying Playwright.Playwright service.

Example (Acquiring the browser directly)

import { Effect } from "effect";
import { PlaywrightSpawner, chromium } from "effect-playwright";

const program = Effect.gen(function* () {
  const spawner = yield* PlaywrightSpawner.PlaywrightSpawner;
  const browser = yield* spawner.browser;
  const page = yield* browser.newPage();
  yield* page.setContent("<h1>Effect</h1>");
}).pipe(
  Effect.scoped,
  Effect.provide(PlaywrightSpawner.layer(chromium)),
);
