NAME

    WWW::Mechanize::PhantomJS - automate the PhantomJS browser

SYNOPSIS

      use WWW::Mechanize::PhantomJS;
      my $mech = WWW::Mechanize::PhantomJS->new();
      $mech->get('http://google.com');
    
      $mech->eval_in_page('alert("Hello PhantomJS")');
      my $png= $mech->content_as_png();

 WWW::Mechanize::PhantomJS->new %options

      my $mech = WWW::Mechanize::PhantomJS->new();

    autodie

      Control whether HTTP errors are fatal.

        autodie => 0, # make HTTP errors non-fatal

      The default is to have HTTP errors fatal, as that makes debugging
      much easier than expecting you to actually check the results of every
      action.

    port

      Specify the port where PhantomJS should listen

        port => 8910

    log

      Specify the log level of PhantomJS

        log => 'OFF'   # Also INFO, WARN, DEBUG

    launch_exe

      Specify the path to the PhantomJS executable.

      The default is phantomjs as found via $ENV{PATH}. You can also
      provide this information from the outside by setting
      $ENV{PHANTOMJS_EXE}.

    phantomjs_arg

      Additional command line arguments to phantomjs. (phantomjs -h)

        phantomjs_arg => ["--proxy=$ENV{HTTP_PROXY}"]

    launch_ghostdriver

      Filename of the ghostdriver Javascript code to launch. The default is
      the file distributed with this module.

        launch_ghostdriver => "devel/my/ghostdriver/main.js",

    launch_arg

      Specify additional parameters to the Ghostdriver script.

        launch_arg => [ "--some-new-parameter=foo" ],

      Some interesting parameters are:

        "--webdriver=$port",
        '--webdriver-logfile=/tmp/webdriver',
        '--webdriver-loglevel=DEBUG',
        '--debug=true',
      
        note: these set config.xxx values in ghostrdriver/config.js

    cookie_file

      Cookies are not directly persisted. If you pass in a path here, that
      file will be used to store or retrieve cookies.

    ignore_ssl_errors

      If you want phantomjs to ignore SSL errors, pass a true value here.

    driver

      A premade Selenium::Remote::Driver object.

    report_js_errors

      If set to 1, after each request tests for Javascript errors and
      warns. Useful for testing with use warnings qw(fatal).

 $mech->phantomjs_version

      print $mech->phantomjs_version;

    Returns the version of the PhantomJS executable that is used.

 $mech->ghostdriver_version

      print $mech->ghostdriver_version;

    Returns the version of the ghostdriver script that is used.

 $mech->driver

        my $selenium= $mech->driver

    Access the Selenium::Driver::Remote instance connecting to PhantomJS.

 $mech->js_alerts()

      print for $mech->js_alerts();

    An interface to the Javascript Alerts

    Returns the list of alerts

 $mech->clear_js_alerts()

        $mech->clear_js_alerts();

    Clears all saved alerts

 $mech->js_errors()

      print $_->{message}
          for $mech->js_errors();

    An interface to the Javascript Error Console

    Returns the list of errors in the JEC

    Maybe this should be called js_messages or js_console_messages instead.

 $mech->clear_js_errors()

        $mech->clear_js_errors();

    Clears all Javascript messages from the console

 $mech->confirm( 'Really do this?' [ => 1 ])

    Records a confirmation (which is "1" or "ok" by default), to be used
    whenever javascript fires a confirm dialog. If the message is not
    found, the answer is "cancel".

 $mech->eval_in_page( $str, @args )

 $mech->eval( $str, @args )

      my ($value, $type) = $mech->eval( '2+2' );

    Evaluates the given Javascript fragment in the context of the web page.
    Returns a pair of value and Javascript type.

    This allows access to variables and functions declared "globally" on
    the web page.

    This method is special to WWW::Mechanize::PhantomJS.

 $mech->eval_in_phantomjs $code, @args

      $mech->eval_in_phantomjs(<<'JS', "Foobar/1.0");
          this.settings.userAgent= arguments[0]
      JS

    Evaluates Javascript code in the context of PhantomJS.

    This allows you to modify properties of PhantomJS.

 $mech->highlight_node( @nodes )

        my @links = $mech->selector('a');
        $mech->highlight_node(@links);
        print $mech->content_as_png();

    Convenience method that marks all nodes in the arguments with

      background: red;
      border: solid black 1px;
      display: block; /* if the element was display: none before */

    This is convenient if you need visual verification that you've got the
    right nodes.

    There currently is no way to restore the nodes to their original visual
    state except reloading the page.

NAVIGATION METHODS

 $mech->get( $url, %options )

      $mech->get( $url  );

    Retrieves the URL URL.

    It returns a faked HTTP::Response object for interface compatibility
    with WWW::Mechanize. It seems that Selenium and thus
    Selenium::Remote::Driver have no concept of HTTP status code and thus
    no way of returning the HTTP status code.

    Note that PhantomJs does not support download of files.

 $mech->get_local( $filename , %options )

      $mech->get_local('test.html');

    Shorthand method to construct the appropriate file:// URI and load it
    into PhantomJS. Relative paths will be interpreted as relative to $0.

    This method accepts the same options as ->get().

    This method is special to WWW::Mechanize::PhantomJS but could also
    exist in WWW::Mechanize through a plugin.

    Warning: PhantomJs does not handle local files well. Especially
    subframes do not get loaded properly.

 $mech->post( $url, %options )

    not implemented

    Selenium currently does not allow a raw POST message and the code for
    constructing a form on the fly is not working so this method is not
    implemented.

      $mech->post( 'http://example.com',
          params => { param => "Hello World" },
          headers => {
            "Content-Type" => 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
          },
          charset => 'utf-8',
      );

    Sends a POST request to $url.

    A Content-Length header will be automatically calculated if it is not
    given.

    The following options are recognized:

      * headers - a hash of HTTP headers to send. If not given, the content
      type will be generated automatically.

      * data - the raw data to send, if you've encoded it already.

 $mech->add_header( $name => $value, ... )

        $mech->add_header(
            'X-WWW-Mechanize-PhantomJS' => "I'm using it",
            Encoding => 'text/klingon',
        );

    This method sets up custom headers that will be sent with every HTTP(S)
    request that PhantomJS makes.

    Note that currently, we only support one value per header.

 $mech->delete_header( $name , $name2... )

        $mech->delete_header( 'User-Agent' );

    Removes HTTP headers from the agent's list of special headers. Note
    that PhantomJS may still send a header with its default value.

 $mech->reset_headers

        $mech->reset_headers();

    Removes all custom headers and makes PhantomJS send its defaults again.

 $mech->res() / $mech->response(%options)

        my $response = $mech->response(headers => 0);

    Returns the current response as a HTTP::Response object.

 $mech->success()

        $mech->get('http://google.com');
        print "Yay"
            if $mech->success();

    Returns a boolean telling whether the last request was successful. If
    there hasn't been an operation yet, returns false.

    This is a convenience function that wraps $mech->res->is_success.

 $mech->status()

        $mech->get('http://google.com');
        print $mech->status();
        # 200

    Returns the HTTP status code of the response. This is a 3-digit number
    like 200 for OK, 404 for not found, and so on.

 $mech->back()

        $mech->back();

    Goes one page back in the page history.

    Returns the (new) response.

 $mech->forward()

        $mech->forward();

    Goes one page forward in the page history.

    Returns the (new) response.

 $mech->uri()

        print "We are at " . $mech->uri;

    Returns the current document URI.

CONTENT METHODS

 $mech->document()

    Returns the document object as a WebElement.

    This is WWW::Mechanize::PhantomJS specific.

 $mech->content( %options )

      print $mech->content;
      print $mech->content( format => 'html' ); # default
      print $mech->content( format => 'text' ); # identical to ->text

    This always returns the content as a Unicode string. It tries to decode
    the raw content according to its input encoding. This currently only
    works for HTML pages, not for images etc.

    Recognized options:

      * format - the stuff to return

      The allowed values are html and text. The default is html.

 $mech->text()

        print $mech->text();

    Returns the text of the current HTML content. If the content isn't
    HTML, $mech will die.

 $mech->content_encoding()

        print "The content is encoded as ", $mech->content_encoding;

    Returns the encoding that the content is in. This can be used to
    convert the content from UTF-8 back to its native encoding.

 $mech->update_html( $html )

      $mech->update_html($html);

    Writes $html into the current document. This is mostly implemented as a
    convenience method for HTML::Display::MozRepl.

 $mech->base()

      print $mech->base;

    Returns the URL base for the current page.

    The base is either specified through a base tag or is the current URL.

    This method is specific to WWW::Mechanize::PhantomJS.

 $mech->content_type()

 $mech->ct()

      print $mech->content_type;

    Returns the content type of the currently loaded document

 $mech->is_html()

      print $mech->is_html();

    Returns true/false on whether our content is HTML, according to the
    HTTP headers.

 $mech->title()

      print "We are on page " . $mech->title;

    Returns the current document title.

EXTRACTION METHODS

 $mech->links()

      print $_->text . " -> " . $_->url . "\n"
          for $mech->links;

    Returns all links in the document as WWW::Mechanize::Link objects.

    Currently accepts no parameters. See ->xpath or ->selector when you
    want more control.

 $mech->selector( $css_selector, %options )

      my @text = $mech->selector('p.content');

    Returns all nodes matching the given CSS selector. If $css_selector is
    an array reference, it returns all nodes matched by any of the CSS
    selectors in the array.

    This takes the same options that ->xpath does.

    This method is implemented via WWW::Mechanize::Plugin::Selector.

 $mech->find_link_dom( %options )

      print $_->{innerHTML} . "\n"
          for $mech->find_link_dom( text_contains => 'CPAN' );

    A method to find links, like WWW::Mechanize's ->find_links method. This
    method returns DOM objects from PhantomJS instead of
    WWW::Mechanize::Link objects.

    Note that PhantomJS might have reordered the links or frame links in
    the document so the absolute numbers passed via n might not be the same
    between WWW::Mechanize and WWW::Mechanize::PhantomJS.

    The supported options are:

      * text and text_contains and text_regex

      Match the text of the link as a complete string, substring or regular
      expression.

      Matching as a complete string or substring is a bit faster, as it is
      done in the XPath engine of PhantomJS.

      * id and id_contains and id_regex

      Matches the id attribute of the link completely or as part

      * name and name_contains and name_regex

      Matches the name attribute of the link

      * url and url_regex

      Matches the URL attribute of the link (href, src or content).

      * class - the class attribute of the link

      * n - the (1-based) index. Defaults to returning the first link.

      * single - If true, ensure that only one element is found. Otherwise
      croak or carp, depending on the autodie parameter.

      * one - If true, ensure that at least one element is found. Otherwise
      croak or carp, depending on the autodie parameter.

      The method croaks if no link is found. If the single option is true,
      it also croaks when more than one link is found.

 $mech->find_link( %options )

      print $_->text . "\n"
          for $mech->find_link( text_contains => 'CPAN' );

    A method quite similar to WWW::Mechanize's method. The options are
    documented in ->find_link_dom.

    Returns a WWW::Mechanize::Link object.

    This defaults to not look through child frames.

 $mech->find_all_links( %options )

      print $_->text . "\n"
          for $mech->find_all_links( text_regex => qr/google/i );

    Finds all links in the document. The options are documented in
    ->find_link_dom.

    Returns them as list or an array reference, depending on context.

    This defaults to not look through child frames.

 $mech->find_all_links_dom %options

      print $_->{innerHTML} . "\n"
          for $mech->find_all_links_dom( text_regex => qr/google/i );

    Finds all matching linky DOM nodes in the document. The options are
    documented in ->find_link_dom.

    Returns them as list or an array reference, depending on context.

    This defaults to not look through child frames.

 $mech->follow_link( $link )

 $mech->follow_link( %options )

      $mech->follow_link( xpath => '//a[text() = "Click here!"]' );

    Follows the given link. Takes the same parameters that find_link_dom
    uses.

    Note that ->follow_link will only try to follow link-like things like A
    tags.

 $mech->xpath( $query, %options )

        my $link = $mech->xpath('//a[id="clickme"]', one => 1);
        # croaks if there is no link or more than one link found
    
        my @para = $mech->xpath('//p');
        # Collects all paragraphs
    
        my @para_text = $mech->xpath('//p/text()', type => $mech->xpathResult('STRING_TYPE'));
        # Collects all paragraphs as text

    Runs an XPath query in PhantomJS against the current document.

    If you need more information about the returned results, use the
    ->xpathEx() function.

    The options allow the following keys:

      * document - document in which the query is to be executed. Use this
      to search a node within a specific subframe of $mech->document.

      * frames - if true, search all documents in all frames and iframes.
      This may or may not conflict with node. This will default to the
      frames setting of the WWW::Mechanize::PhantomJS object.

      * node - node relative to which the query is to be executed. Note
      that you will have to use a relative XPath expression as well. Use

        .//foo

      instead of

        //foo

      * single - If true, ensure that only one element is found. Otherwise
      croak or carp, depending on the autodie parameter.

      * one - If true, ensure that at least one element is found. Otherwise
      croak or carp, depending on the autodie parameter.

      * maybe - If true, ensure that at most one element is found.
      Otherwise croak or carp, depending on the autodie parameter.

      * all - If true, return all elements found. This is the default. You
      can use this option if you want to use ->xpath in scalar context to
      count the number of matched elements, as it will otherwise emit a
      warning for each usage in scalar context without any of the above
      restricting options.

      * any - no error is raised, no matter if an item is found or not.

      * type - force the return type of the query.

        type => $mech->xpathResult('ORDERED_NODE_SNAPSHOT_TYPE'),

      WWW::Mechanize::PhantomJS tries a best effort in giving you the
      appropriate result of your query, be it a DOM node or a string or a
      number. In the case you need to restrict the return type, you can
      pass this in.

      The allowed strings are documented in the MDN. Interesting types are

        ANY_TYPE     (default, uses whatever things the query returns)
        STRING_TYPE
        NUMBER_TYPE
        ORDERED_NODE_SNAPSHOT_TYPE

    Returns the matched results.

    You can pass in a list of queries as an array reference for the first
    parameter. The result will then be the list of all elements matching
    any of the queries.

    This is a method that is not implemented in WWW::Mechanize.

    In the long run, this should go into a general plugin for
    WWW::Mechanize.

 $mech->by_id( $id, %options )

      my @text = $mech->by_id('_foo:bar');

    Returns all nodes matching the given ids. If $id is an array reference,
    it returns all nodes matched by any of the ids in the array.

    This method is equivalent to calling ->xpath :

        $self->xpath(qq{//*[\@id="$_"], %options)

    It is convenient when your element ids get mistaken for CSS selectors.

 $mech->click( $name [,$x ,$y] )

      $mech->click( 'go' );
      $mech->click({ xpath => '//button[@name="go"]' });

    Has the effect of clicking a button (or other element) on the current
    form. The first argument is the name of the button to be clicked. The
    second and third arguments (optional) allow you to specify the (x,y)
    coordinates of the click.

    If there is only one button on the form, $mech->click() with no
    arguments simply clicks that one button.

    If you pass in a hash reference instead of a name, the following keys
    are recognized:

      * selector - Find the element to click by the CSS selector

      * xpath - Find the element to click by the XPath query

      * dom - Click on the passed DOM element

      You can use this to click on arbitrary page elements. There is no
      convenient way to pass x/y co-ordinates with this method.

      * id - Click on the element with the given id

      This is useful if your document ids contain characters that do look
      like CSS selectors. It is equivalent to

          xpath => qq{//*[\@id="$id"]}

    Returns a HTTP::Response object.

    As a deviation from the WWW::Mechanize API, you can also pass a hash
    reference as the first parameter. In it, you can specify the parameters
    to search much like for the find_link calls.

 $mech->click_button( ... )

      $mech->click_button( name => 'go' );
      $mech->click_button( input => $mybutton );

    Has the effect of clicking a button on the current form by specifying
    its name, value, or index. Its arguments are a list of key/value pairs.
    Only one of name, number, input or value must be specified in the keys.

      * name - name of the button

      * value - value of the button

      * input - DOM node

      * id - id of the button

      * number - number of the button

    If you find yourself wanting to specify a button through its selector
    or xpath, consider using ->click instead.

FORM METHODS

 $mech->current_form()

      print $mech->current_form->{name};

    Returns the current form.

    This method is incompatible with WWW::Mechanize. It returns the DOM
    <form> object and not a HTML::Form instance.

    The current form will be reset by WWW::Mechanize::PhantomJS on calls to
    ->get() and ->get_local(), and on calls to ->submit() and
    ->submit_with_fields.

 $mech->dump_forms( [$fh] )

      open my $fh, '>', 'form-log.txt'
          or die "Couldn't open logfile 'form-log.txt': $!";
      $mech->dump_forms( $fh );

    Prints a dump of the forms on the current page to the filehandle $fh.
    If $fh is not specified or is undef, it dumps to STDOUT.

 $mech->form_name( $name [, %options] )

      $mech->form_name( 'search' );

    Selects the current form by its name. The options are identical to
    those accepted by the "$mech->xpath" method.

 $mech->form_id( $id [, %options] )

      $mech->form_id( 'login' );

    Selects the current form by its id attribute. The options are identical
    to those accepted by the "$mech->xpath" method.

    This is equivalent to calling

        $mech->by_id($id,single => 1,%options)

 $mech->form_number( $number [, %options] )

      $mech->form_number( 2 );

    Selects the numberth form. The options are identical to those accepted
    by the "$mech->xpath" method.

 $mech->form_with_fields( [$options], @fields )

      $mech->form_with_fields(
          'user', 'password'
      );

    Find the form which has the listed fields.

    If the first argument is a hash reference, it's taken as options to
    ->xpath.

    See also "$mech->submit_form".

 $mech->forms( %options )

      my @forms = $mech->forms();

    When called in a list context, returns a list of the forms found in the
    last fetched page. In a scalar context, returns a reference to an array
    with those forms.

    The options are identical to those accepted by the "$mech->selector"
    method.

    The returned elements are the DOM <form> elements.

 $mech->field( $selector, $value, [,\@pre_events [,\@post_events]] )

      $mech->field( user => 'joe' );
      $mech->field( not_empty => '', [], [] ); # bypass JS validation

    Sets the field with the name given in $selector to the given value.
    Returns the value.

    The method understands very basic CSS selectors in the value for
    $selector, like the HTML::Form find_input() method.

    A selector prefixed with '#' must match the id attribute of the input.
    A selector prefixed with '.' matches the class attribute. A selector
    prefixed with '^' or with no prefix matches the name attribute.

    By passing the array reference @pre_events, you can indicate which
    Javascript events you want to be triggered before setting the value.
    @post_events contains the events you want to be triggered after setting
    the value.

    By default, the events set in the constructor for pre_events and
    post_events are triggered.

 $mech->value( $selector_or_element, [%options] )

        print $mech->value( 'user' );

    Returns the value of the field given by $selector_or_name or of the DOM
    element passed in.

    The legacy form of

        $mech->value( name => value );

    is also still supported but will likely be deprecated in favour of the
    ->field method.

    For fields that can have multiple values, like a select field, the
    method is context sensitive and returns the first selected value in
    scalar context and all values in list context.

 $mech->get_set_value( %options )

    Allows fine-grained access to getting/setting a value with a different
    API. Supported keys are:

      pre
      post
      name
      value

    in addition to all keys that $mech->xpath supports.

 $mech->submit( $form )

      $mech->submit;

    Submits the form. Note that this does not fire the onClick event and
    thus also does not fire eventual Javascript handlers. Maybe you want to
    use $mech->click instead.

    The default is to submit the current form as returned by
    $mech->current_form.

 $mech->submit_form( %options )

      $mech->submit_form(
          with_fields => {
              user => 'me',
              pass => 'secret',
          }
      );

    This method lets you select a form from the previously fetched page,
    fill in its fields, and submit it. It combines the
    form_number/form_name, set_fields and click methods into one higher
    level call. Its arguments are a list of key/value pairs, all of which
    are optional.

      * form => $mech->current_form()

      Specifies the form to be filled and submitted. Defaults to the
      current form.

      * fields => \%fields

      Specifies the fields to be filled in the current form

      * with_fields => \%fields

      Probably all you need for the common case. It combines a smart form
      selector and data setting in one operation. It selects the first form
      that contains all fields mentioned in \%fields. This is nice because
      you don't need to know the name or number of the form to do this.

      (calls "$mech->form_with_fields()" and "$mech->set_fields()").

      If you choose this, the form_number, form_name, form_id and fields
      options will be ignored.

 $mech->set_fields( $name => $value, ... )

      $mech->set_fields(
          user => 'me',
          pass => 'secret',
      );

    This method sets multiple fields of the current form. It takes a list
    of field name and value pairs. If there is more than one field with the
    same name, the first one found is set. If you want to select which of
    the duplicate field to set, use a value which is an anonymous array
    which has the field value and its number as the 2 elements.

 $mech->expand_frames( $spec )

      my @frames = $mech->expand_frames();

    Expands the frame selectors (or 1 to match all frames) into their
    respective PhantomJS nodes according to the current document. All
    frames will be visited in breadth first order.

    This is mostly an internal method.

 $mech->current_frame

        my $last_frame= $mech->current_frame;
        # Switch frame somewhere else
    
        # Switch back
        $mech->activate_container( $last_frame );

    Returns the currently active frame as a WebElement.

    This is mostly an internal method.

    http://code.google.com/p/selenium/issues/detail?id=4305

    Frames are currently not really supported.

CONTENT RENDERING METHODS

 $mech->content_as_png( [\%coordinates ] )

        my $png_data = $mech->content_as_png();
    
        # Create scaled-down 480px wide preview
        my $png_data = $mech->content_as_png(undef, { width => 480 });

    Returns the given tab or the current page rendered as PNG image.

    All parameters are optional.

     \%coordinates 

      If the coordinates are given, that rectangle will be cut out. The
      coordinates should be a hash with the four usual entries,
      left,top,width,height.

    This method is specific to WWW::Mechanize::PhantomJS.

    Currently, the data transfer between PhantomJS and Perl is done
    Base64-encoded.

 $mech->viewport_size

      print Dumper $mech->viewport_size;
      $mech->viewport_size({ width => 1388, height => 792 });

    Returns (or sets) the new size of the viewport (the "window").

 $mech->element_as_png( $element )

        my $shiny = $mech->selector('#shiny', single => 1);
        my $i_want_this = $mech->element_as_png($shiny);

    Returns PNG image data for a single element

 $mech->render_element( %options )

        my $shiny = $mech->selector('#shiny', single => 1);
        my $i_want_this= $mech->render_element(
            element => $shiny,
            format => 'pdf',
        );

    Returns the data for a single element or writes it to a file. It
    accepts all options of ->render_content.

 $mech->element_coordinates( $element )

        my $shiny = $mech->selector('#shiny', single => 1);
        my ($pos) = $mech->element_coordinates($shiny);
        print $pos->{left},',', $pos->{top};

    Returns the page-coordinates of the $element in pixels as a hash with
    four entries, left, top, width and height.

    This function might get moved into another module more geared towards
    rendering HTML.

 $mech->render_content(%options)

        my $pdf_data = $mech->render( format => 'pdf' );
    
        $mech->render_content(
            format => 'jpg',
            filename => '/path/to/my.jpg',
        );

    Returns the current page rendered in the specified format as a
    bytestring or stores the current page in the specified filename.

    The filename must be absolute. We are dealing with external processes
    here!

    This method is specific to WWW::Mechanize::PhantomJS.

    Currently, the data transfer between PhantomJS and Perl is done through
    a temporary file, so directly using the filename option may be faster.

 $mech->content_as_pdf(%options)

        my $pdf_data = $mech->content_as_pdf();
    
        $mech->content_as_pdf(
            filename => '/path/to/my.pdf',
        );

    Returns the current page rendered in PDF format as a bytestring.

    This method is specific to WWW::Mechanize::PhantomJS.

    Currently, the data transfer between PhantomJS and Perl is done through
    a temporary file, so directly using the filename option may be faster.

INTERNAL METHODS

    These are methods that are available but exist mostly as internal
    helper methods. Use of these is discouraged.

 $mech->element_query( \@elements, \%attributes )

        my $query = $mech->element_query(['input', 'select', 'textarea'],
                                   { name => 'foo' });

    Returns the XPath query that searches for all elements with tagNames in
    @elements having the attributes %attributes. The @elements will form an
    or condition, while the attributes will form an and condition.

 $mech->PhantomJS_elementToJS

    Returns the Javascript fragment to turn a Selenium::Remote::PhantomJS
    id back to a Javascript object.

INCOMPATIBILITIES WITH WWW::Mechanize

    As this module is in a very early stage of development, there are many
    incompatibilities. The main thing is that only the most needed
    WWW::Mechanize methods have been implemented by me so far.

 Unsupported Methods

    At least the following methods are unsupported:

      * ->find_all_inputs

      This function is likely best implemented through $mech->selector.

      * ->find_all_submits

      This function is likely best implemented through $mech->selector.

      * ->images

      This function is likely best implemented through $mech->selector.

      * ->find_image

      This function is likely best implemented through $mech->selector.

      * ->find_all_images

      This function is likely best implemented through $mech->selector.

 Functions that will likely never be implemented

    These functions are unlikely to be implemented because they make little
    sense in the context of PhantomJS.

      * ->clone

      * ->credentials( $username, $password )

      * ->get_basic_credentials( $realm, $uri, $isproxy )

      * ->clear_credentials()

      * ->put

      I have no use for it

      * ->post

      Selenium does not support POST requests

TODO

      * Add limit parameter to ->xpath() to allow an early exit-case when
      searching through frames.

      * Implement downloads via

      https://perlmonks.org/?node_id=1151151

      * Implement download progress
