To render an HTML file locally using Puppeteer, you can follow these steps:
npm install puppeteer
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');
(async () => {
const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
const page = await browser.newPage();
const filePath = 'file:///path/to/your/html/file.html'; // Update this with the path to your HTML file
await page.goto(filePath, { waitUntil: 'networkidle2' });
await page.screenshot({path: 'renderedPage.png'}); // Save a screenshot of the rendered HTML file
console.log('Page rendered successfully!');
await browser.close();
})();
Update the filePath
variable with the path to your HTML file that you want to render.
Run the JavaScript file using Node.js in your terminal:
node renderHtml.js
This will launch a headless browser with Puppeteer, navigate to the specified HTML file, wait for the network to be idle, take a screenshot of the rendered page, and save it as renderedPage.png in your project directory. You can modify the code to perform additional actions on the rendered HTML file as needed.
