Removing Script Tags in Puppeteer
Puppeteer is a powerful tool that allows you to control and automate a headless Chrome browser. One common task when using Puppeteer is removing script tags from a webpage. This can be useful for various reasons, such as preventing unwanted scripts from running or cleaning up the DOM before taking a screenshot.
Using Puppeteer to Remove Script Tags
Removing script tags in Puppeteer is a straightforward process. You can use the evaluate
method to manipulate the DOM of a page and remove script elements. Here is an example:
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');
(async () => {
const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.goto('https://example.com');
await page.evaluate(() => {
const scriptElements = document.querySelectorAll('script');
scriptElements.forEach(element => {
element.remove();
});
});
await page.screenshot({ path: 'screenshot.png' });
await browser.close();
})();
