Screen
Web site screenshot tool based on PHP and PhantomJS
You can use it to take screenshots for testing or monitoring service, (*1)
Install
Via Composer, (*2)
``` bash
$ composer require microweber/screen, (*3)
If on any Unix system, you need to make the `bin` executable `chmod +x /path/to/screen/bin/phantomjs`
The directory `/path/to/screen/jobs` must be writable as well.
## Linux requirements
* FontConfig - `apt-get/yum install fontconfig`
* FreeType - `apt-get/yum install freetype*`
## Usage
With this library you can make use of PhantomJs to screenshot a website.
Check our [demo](/demo) or read the following instructions.
Creating the object, you can either pass the URL on the constructor or set it later on
``` php
use Screen\Capture;
$url = 'https://github.com';
$screenCapture = new Capture($url);
// or
$screenCapture = new Capture();
$screenCapture->setUrl($url);
You can also set the browser dimensions
``` php
$screenCapture->setWidth(1200);
$screenCapture->setHeight(800);, (*4)
you can set also DOM Element Position (top, left)
``` php
$screenCapture->setTop(100);
$screenCapture->setLeft(100);
This will output all the page including the content rendered beyond the setted dimensions (e.g.: all the scrollable content), if you want just the content inside those boudaries you need to clip the result
``` php
// You also need to set the width and height.
$screenCapture->setClipWidth(1200);
$screenCapture->setClipHeight(800);, (*5)
Some webpages don't have a background color setted to the body, if you want you can set the color using this method
``` php
$screenCapture->setBackgroundColor('#ffffff');
You can also set the User Agent
``` php
$screenCapture->setUserAgentString('Some User Agent String');, (*6)
And the resulted image type
``` php
// allowed types are 'jpg' and 'png', default is 'jpg'.
$screenCapture->setImageType(Screen\Image\Types\Png::FORMAT);
// or
$screenCapture->setImageType('png');
- If the format is
jpg
and the background color is not set, the default value will be #FFFFFF
, if png
the default background color will be transparent.
And most importantly, save the result
``` php
$fileLocation = '/some/dir/test.' . $screen->getImageType()->getFormat();
$screenCapture->save($fileLocation);, (*7)
// you don't need to set the file extension
$fileLocation = '/some/dir/test';
$screenCapture->save($fileLocation); // Will automatically determine the extension type, (*8)
echo $screenCapture->getImageLocation(); // --> /some/dir/test.png, (*9)
## Injection your own JS into the web page
You can also run your own JS scripts or snippets before the screenshot.
For that we have the method ```includeJs```, here are some usage examples:
``` php
// Including a remote file
$jQueryUrl = 'https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.1.0/jquery.min.js';
$screenCapture->includeJs(new \Screen\Injection\Url($jQUeryUrl));
// Including a local file
$localFilePath = 'path/to/my/script.js';
$screenCapture->includeJs(new \Screen\Injection\LocalPath($localFilePath));
// Using the scripts included on the library
$screen->includeJs(new \Screen\Injection\Scripts\FacebookHideCookiesPolicy());
$screen->includeJs(new \Screen\Injection\Scripts\FacebookHideSignUp());
// Using a js snippet
$screen->includeJs("console.log('This is supa cool!');");
Just use this method before calling save(...)
, (*10)
Passing options to PhantomJS
You can set the options that will be passed to the PhantomJS binary., (*11)
``` php
$screenCapture->setOptions([
'ignore-ssl-errors' => 'yes',
// '--ignore-ssl-errors' => 'yes', // dashes may be omitted
]);, (*12)
## Other configurations
Additionally to the basic usage, you can set so extra configurations.
You can change the where the PhantomJS binary file is.
``` php
$screenCapture->binPath = '/path/to/bin/dir/';
// This will result in /path/to/bin/dir/phantomjs
Change the jobs location
``` php
$screenCapture->jobs->setLocation('/path/to/jobs/dir/');
echo $screenCapture->jobs->getLocation(); // -> /path/to/jobs/dir/, (*13)
And set an output base location
``` php
$screenCapture->output->setLocation('/path/to/output/dir/');
echo $screenCapture->output->getLocation(); // -> /path/to/output/dir/
// if the output location is setted
$screenCapture->save('file.jpg');
// will save the file to /path/to/output/dir/file.jpg
You can also clean/delete all the generated job files like this:
php
$screenCapture->jobs->clean();
