puppeteer-extra-plugin-timezone

Sets the correct timezone based in IP geolocation for each page that opens.

The correct timezone is fetched and saved to cache once a Browser intance opens. All the pages belonging to it will have their timezone emulated.

For IPs where the timezone can't be detected, a warning will be thrown using the standard puppeteer-extra logger.

Installation

yarn add puppeteer-extra-plugin-timezone
# or
npm install puppeteer-extra-plugin-timezone

Usage

First of all, you have to register the plugin with puppeteer-extra.

JavaScript:

puppeteer.use(require('puppeteer-extra-plugin-timezone')())

TypeScript:

import TimezonePlugin from 'puppeteer-extra-plugin-timezone';
puppeteer.use(TimezonePlugin())

You can then use puppeteer as usual:

const browser = await puppeteer.launch()
const page = await browser.newPage()
await page.goto('https://whoer.net')

Testing

The tests are defined in src/plugin.spec.ts.

1. You need to add a proxy server IP in src/constants.ts
2. You can run the tests using either yarn test or npm test.

Debugging

You can see the package's logs by setting the DEBUG=puppeteer-extra-plugin:timezone env variable.

Example: DEBUG=puppeteer-extra-plugin:timezone npm test

Contributing

We appreciate all contributions.

What's needed:

• [ ] Get timezone from other fallback iptest websites

Done:

• [x] Fix memory leak (remove timezone informations on browser disconnect)
• [x] Make it work somehow (prescience)
• [x] Specifying a default fallback timezone (prescience)
• [x] Sticky per-browser timezone (save the timezone for each browser to avoid unnecessary calls to Lumtest)
