💖 Chrome::...AnyEvent(3) 💖

ok so bestie, welcome to the User Contributed Perl Documentation for Chrome::DevToolsProtocol::Transport::Pipe::AnyEvent — yes it's a whole mouthful, we know, we still love her 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

Chrome::DevToolsProtocol::Transport::Pipe::AnyEvent — an EXPERIMENTAL local pipe backend for Chrome communication 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

my $t = Chrome::DevToolsProtocol::Transport::Pipe::AnyEvent->new;
$t->connect( $handler, $got_endpoint, $logger)
->then(sub {
    my( $connection ) = @_;
    print "We are connected\n";
});

like. look at her go. $t->connect(...) then boom, "We are connected\n". main character energy fr 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so this is an experimental backend that talks to Chrome using a pipe made of two file descriptors. that's it, that's the vibe ✨

⚠️ heads up bestie: this requires Chrome v72+. no v72, no pipe, no slay.

💜 "$transport->sleep( $seconds )" 💜

$transport->sleep( 10 )->get; # wait for 10 seconds

it hands you back a Future that gets resolved after the number of seconds you gave it. so sleep( 10 )->get = literally just vibing for ten whole seconds 😭 iconic honestly.

💀 KNOWN BUGS 💀

not me having to tell you this 😭 so: if you launch a second instance of WWW::Mechanize::Chrome that is not connected to the same Chrome instance while you're using the pipe backend for communication, it will crash. like, hard.

and ngl, we're not sure who's at fault here — AnyEvent or Chrome. it's giving mystery. it's giving blame game. 🙈
