// Get a list of desired browsers (there's just 1 here)
const wanted = [{ name: 'electron' }]
const manifests = await provider.manifests(wanted)

// Instantiate a browser
const target = { url: 'http://localhost:3000' }
const browser = provider.browser(manifests[0], target)

await browser.open()

With Airtap

browsers:
  - name: electron

This provider also exposes a supports property to match on:

browsers:
  - name: electron
    supports:
      headless: true

API

Electron()

Constructor. Returns an instance of browser-provider.

Browser options

      window:
        webPreferences:
