FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Informations about the package dusk-secure
What?
Laravel Dusk is an incredibly simple to use browser automation and testing tool. However, it was made with testing in mind, and as such, was never really meant for the production environment limelight.
Not anymore. I've gone ahead and ripped out all the parts that expose routes, or interact with your users.
Why?
So we can scrape the web with an amazingly expressive API in a framework we all know and love! All the methods you know and love -- minus the ones on interacting with or acting as users -- are there. See the official docs below for more details.
Caveats and gotchas
When using this tool as a scraper, you're typically limited to making dusk tests, and then triggering them via php artisan dusk.
You can automate this process and apply them to a command bus you can schedule!
Here's how:
Make your dusk test as you have before. Then, make a new command, making sure to give it a unique signature.
In the handle method, simply new up the class of the test you just created, initialize it and run it:
Do whatever you had planned with the data you're scraping inside the test itself and you're golden.
When you make a test for dusk, make sure you include $browser->quit(); to ensure that the browser cleans up after itself. Do this after you've processed the data you've scraped.
What's next?
I'll make a 2.0 branch in the coming days to keep pace with the official package. It brings headless operation which will really help with some serious scraping.
Just kidding! Version 1.1.0 upgrades the binary and allows for headless operation.
To run your scraping headless, check out DuskTestCase.php, make sure to add ChromeOptions to your use statements, and set the $options variable and pass it through to the RemoteWebDriver like pictured below.
