How does puppeteer.connect work?

puppeteer.connect() is a method provided by the Puppeteer library that creates a connection to an existing browser instance from a Node.js process, allowing the user to control the browser programmatically. Once the connection is established, the user can interact with the browser instance using the Browser object returned by this method. The puppeteer.connect() method takes an object containing connection options such as the browserWSEndpoint URL, and returns a promise that resolves with a Browser object.

const puppeteer = require("puppeteer");

(async () => {
  const browserURL = "http://localhost:9222"; // The URL to connect to an existing instance of Chrome or Chromium.
  const browser = await puppeteer.connect({ browserURL });

  // Do something with the browser object, like create a new page and navigate to a URL.
  const page = await browser.newPage();
  await page.goto("https://www.google.com");

  // Close the browser when done.
  await browser.close();
})();

In this example, puppeteer.connect is used to create a connection to an existing instance of Chrome or Chromium that is already running with remote debugging enabled. This is done by passing in the URL of the remote browser instance to the browserURL parameter. Once the connection is established, you can use the browser object to interact with the remote browser just like you would with a locally running instance. In this example, a new page is created and navigated to a URL using the browser.newPage and page.goto methods. Finally, the browser instance is closed using the browser.close method.
