playwrightBrowserPool

Callable

• playwrightBrowserPool(options): PlaywrightBrowserPool

---

• Builds a BrowserPool of Playwright browsers to pass to a PlaywrightCrawler as its browserPool.

  It accepts every BrowserPool option plus the crawler's own launchContext and headless, and derives the browser plugin from them - so a pool built here always matches the crawler it is given to, and configuring one never means assembling a PlaywrightPlugin by hand.

  Example usage:

  const crawler = new PlaywrightCrawler({
      browserPool: playwrightBrowserPool({
          maxOpenPagesPerBrowser: 1,
          launchContext: { launcher: firefox },
      }),
      requestHandler: async ({ page }) => { ... },
  });

  The returned pool is not torn down by the crawler, which is what makes it shareable between crawlers.
