Is there a way for CasperJS to access the underlying PhantomJS objects and references?

Currently, I am in the process of transitioning a script from PhantomJS to CasperJS, and I am curious if Casper offers any references to the Phantom objects it utilizes internally.

It is important to note that Phantom provides certain functionalities that Casper lacks (such as injectJs).

For the sake of thoroughness, here is a list of all Phantom's objects:

Upon inspecting the properties of the casper object, I did discover a reference to the webpage object (casper.page), which addresses my specific needs. Regardless, I decided to post this inquiry in case others require access to system, fs, webserver, or child_process.

Answer №1

Utilizing the system and fs modules, you have the ability to make use of the same APIs as you would with CasperJS as you would with PhantomJS. This principle likely applies to webserver and child_process modules as well. What I'm suggesting here is that you can simply require these modules in a similar way as you would do with PhantomJS. For example:

var fs = require('fs');
var sys = require('system');

Regarding the webpage module, you can refer to my answer here to understand how to access the page object that CasperJS uses while running on top of PhantomJS.

Answer №2

Check out this demonstration showcasing the implementation of the webserver module in CasperJS.
