Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

humanisejs

npm npm GitHub release (latest by date) GitHub issues GitHub pull requests GitHub stars

A Node.js package that adds a realistic human typing simulation to pages using Puppeteer and Ghost Cursor. This package is useful for enhancing web automation scripts by making interactions with pages more human-like.

Installation

Install the package using npm:

npm install humanisejs

Usage

1. Initialize Puppeteer Browser

const { Browser } = require("puppeteer");
const { createCursor } = require('ghost-cursor');
const { humanise } = require('humanisejs');

const browser = await puppeteer.launch();

2. Add Human Typing to the Browser

Use the humanise function to add human typing functionality to the browser:

await humanise(browser);

3. Utilize the humanType Method

Now, you can use the humanType method on any page in the browser to simulate human-like typing behavior:

const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.goto('https://example.com');
await page.humanType('#inputField', 'Hello, world!');

Features

  • Simulates realistic human typing behavior.
  • Adds a convenient humanType method to Puppeteer pages.
  • Enhances web automation scripts for more human-like interactions.

How It Works

The humanise function listens for new pages created in the browser. When a new page is detected, it adds the humanType method to the page, allowing you to easily simulate human typing.

The humanType method utilizes ghost-cursor to move the cursor to the specified input field, click it, and then type the provided text with occasional simulated mistakes, creating a more human-like typing pattern.

Contributing

If you encounter any issues or have suggestions, please open an issue on GitHub. Pull requests are also welcome.

Roadmap

  • [ ] Add support for customizing typing speed and mistake frequency.

  • [ ] Implement additional features for more realistic interactions. Feel free to contribute to the project by tackling these tasks or suggesting new ideas!
