## Usage
## Take screenshots
```cs
using var browserFetcher = new BrowserFetcher();
await browserFetcher.DownloadAsync();
await using var browser = await Puppeteer.LaunchAsync(
new LaunchOptions { Headless = true });
await using var page = await browser.NewPageAsync();
await page.GoToAsync("http://www.google.com");
await page.ScreenshotAsync(outputFile);
```

You can also change the view port before generating the screenshot
```cs
await Page.SetViewportAsync(new ViewPortOptions
{
Width = 500,
Height = 500
});
```

### Generate PDF files
```cs
using var browserFetcher = new BrowserFetcher();
await browserFetcher.DownloadAsync();
await using var browser = await Puppeteer.LaunchAsync(new LaunchOptions {Headless = true});
await using var page = await browser.NewPageAsync();
await page.GoToAsync("http://www.google.com"); // In case of fonts being loaded from a CDN, use WaitUntilNavigation.Networkidle0 as a second param.
await page.EvaluateExpressionHandleAsync("document.fonts.ready"); // Wait for fonts to be loaded. Omitting this might result in no text rendered in pdf.
await page.PdfAsync(outputFile);
```

await using var page = await browser.NewPageAsync();
var seven = await page.EvaluateExpressionAsync("4 + 3");
var someObject = await page.EvaluateFunctionAsync("(value) => ({a: value})", 5);
Console.WriteLine(someObject.a);
```

### Wait For Selector
```cs
using (var page = await browser.NewPageAsync())
{
await page.GoToAsync("http://www.spapage.com");
await page.WaitForSelectorAsync("div.main-content")
await page.PdfAsync(outputFile));
}
```
### Wait For Function
```cs
using (var page = await browser.NewPageAsync())
{
await page.GoToAsync("http://www.spapage.com");
var watchDog = page.WaitForFunctionAsync("()=> window.innerWidth < 100");
await page.SetViewportAsync(new ViewPortOptions { Width = 50, Height = 50 });
await watchDog;
}
```
### Connect to a remote browser
```cs
var options = new ConnectOptions()
{
BrowserWSEndpoint = $"wss://www.externalbrowser.io?token={apikey}"
};
var url = "https://www.google.com/";
using (var browser = await PuppeteerSharp.Puppeteer.ConnectAsync(options))
{
using (var page = await browser.NewPageAsync())
{
await page.GoToAsync(url);
await page.PdfAsync("wot.pdf");
}
}
```
