Phantomrb

An interface with PhantomJS for Ruby.

PhantomJS must be installed on your system.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'phantomrb'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install phantomrb

Phantomrb.run('/path/to/script', arg1, arg2, ...)

Phantomrb.run('/path/to/script', arg1, arg2, ...) { |line| ... }

• Path can be absolute or relative to app directory.
• All arguments are optional.
• If block is specified it will be called with each line from PhantomJS stdout.

// echo.js
for (var i = 0; i < phantom.args.length; i++) {
    console.log(phantom.args[i]);
}

In your ruby code:

Phantomrb.run('echo.js', 'line one', 'line two') { |line| puts line }

Will output:

test1
test2

Phantomrb returns an OpenStruct object with following data:

• output - full stdout from PhantomJS
• exit_status - exit status code
• command_line - full command line for PhantomJS

Phantomrb provides a way to define a list of command line options for PhantomJS. Create an initializer config/initializers/phantomrb.rb with following code:

Phantomrb.configure do
  option '<parameter name>', <parameter value>
end

# config/initializers/phantomrb.rb
Phantomrb.configure do
  option 'load-images', false
  option 'ignore-ssl-errors', true
end

Phantomrb.run('myscript.js', 'arg1', 'arg2')

will run phantomjs --load-images=false --ignore-ssl-errors=true /absolute/path/to/myscript.js arg1 arg2

More info about PhantomJS command line options you can found in wiki.
