What it does

Playwright-go is a browser automation library that allows you to control Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit with a single API, enabling automated browsing and testing across multiple browsers.

When to use it

•When you need to automate web browsing for data scraping or monitoring
•When you want to write end-to-end tests for your web application across multiple browsers
•When you need to generate screenshots or PDFs of web pages programmatically

Ready-to-paste prompt

page, err := context.NewPage(); page.Goto("https://example.com"); page.Click("text=Login"); page.Fill("input[name="username"]", "your_username"); page.Fill("input[name="password"]", "your_password"); page.Click("text=Submit")

Heads up: Make sure you have the required browser binaries installed on your system, as playwright-go will not download them automatically; you can use the `playwright.BinaryDownloadURL` variable to specify the download URL
