Function withBrowser

Provides a scoped Playwright.Browser to an Effect.

When to use

Use this as the concise alternative to accessing PlaywrightSpawner and its browser effect directly.

Details

A fresh browser is launched when the returned effect starts and is closed when that effect succeeds, fails, or is interrupted. The PlaywrightSpawner layer must already be provided.

Example (Providing a browser for one program)

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

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