Chromium Binary for AWS Lambda

Install

$ npm i chrome-aws-lambda

This will ship with appropriate binary for the latest stable release of puppeteer (usually updated within a day).

If you wish to install an older version of Chromium, take a look at Versioning.

API

Usage

const chromium = require('chrome-aws-lambda');
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');

exports.handler = async (event, context) => {
  try {
    const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
      args: chromium.defaultArgs(),
      executablePath: await chromium.executablePath(),
    });

    const page = await browser.newPage();
    await page.goto(event.url || 'https://example.com');

    return context.succeed(await page.title());
  } catch (error) {
    return context.fail(error);
  } finally {
    await browser.close();
  }
};

Compiling

To compile your own version of Chromium take a look at the instructions in the Ansible playbook.

Compression

The Chromium binary is compressed using the Brotli algorithm.

This allows us to get the best compression ratio and faster decompression times.

For this reason, a stripped-down version of iltorb is bundled as a dependency.

Versioning

This package is versioned based off the underlying Chromium version:
