# class: Playwright
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Playwright module provides a method to launch a browser instance.
 | 
			
		||||
The following is a typical example of using Playwright to drive automation:
 | 
			
		||||
```js
 | 
			
		||||
const { chromium, firefox, webkit } = require('playwright');
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
(async () => {
 | 
			
		||||
  const browser = await chromium.launch();  // Or 'firefox' or 'webkit'.
 | 
			
		||||
  const page = await browser.newPage();
 | 
			
		||||
  await page.goto('http://example.com');
 | 
			
		||||
  // other actions...
 | 
			
		||||
  await browser.close();
 | 
			
		||||
})();
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
By default, the `playwright` NPM package automatically downloads browser executables during installation. The `playwright-core` NPM package can be used to skip automatic downloads.

 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
## property: Playwright.chromium
 | 
			
		||||
- type: <[BrowserType]>
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
This object can be used to launch or connect to Chromium, returning instances of [ChromiumBrowser].
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
## property: Playwright.devices
 | 
			
		||||
- type: <[Object]>
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Returns a list of devices to be used with [`method: Browser.newContext`]() or [`method: Browser.newPage`](). Actual list of devices can be found in [src/server/deviceDescriptors.ts](https://github.com/Microsoft/playwright/blob/master/src/server/deviceDescriptors.ts).
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
```js
 | 
			
		||||
const { webkit, devices } = require('playwright');
 | 
			
		||||
const iPhone = devices['iPhone 6'];
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
(async () => {
 | 
			
		||||
  const browser = await webkit.launch();
 | 
			
		||||
  const context = await browser.newContext({
 | 
			
		||||
    ...iPhone
 | 
			
		||||
  });
 | 
			
		||||
  const page = await context.newPage();
 | 
			
		||||
  await page.goto('http://example.com');
 | 
			
		||||
  // other actions...
 | 
			
		||||
  await browser.close();
 | 
			
		||||
})();
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
## property: Playwright.errors
 | 
			
		||||
- type: <[Object]>
 | 
			
		||||
  - `TimeoutError` <[function]> A class of [TimeoutError].
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Playwright methods might throw errors if they are unable to fulfill a request. For example, [`method: Page.waitForSelector`]()
 | 
			
		||||
might fail if the selector doesn't match any nodes during the given timeframe.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
For certain types of errors Playwright uses specific error classes.
 | 
			
		||||
These classes are available via [`playwright.errors`](#playwrighterrors).
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
An example of handling a timeout error:
 | 
			
		||||
```js
 | 
			
		||||
try {
 | 
			
		||||
  await page.waitForSelector('.foo');
 | 
			
		||||
} catch (e) {
 | 
			
		||||
  if (e instanceof playwright.errors.TimeoutError) {
 | 
			
		||||
    // Do something if this is a timeout.
 | 
			
		||||
  }
 | 
			
		||||
}
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
## property: Playwright.firefox
 | 
			
		||||
- type: <[BrowserType]>
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
This object can be used to launch or connect to Firefox, returning instances of [FirefoxBrowser].
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
## property: Playwright.selectors
 | 
			
		||||
- type: <[Selectors]>
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Selectors can be used to install custom selector engines. See [Working with selectors](#working-with-selectors) for more information.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
## property: Playwright.webkit
 | 
			
		||||
- type: <[BrowserType]>
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
This object can be used to launch or connect to WebKit, returning instances of [WebKitBrowser].
