The Laravel Playwright package provides the boilerplate needed to begin testing your Laravel applications with Playwright quickly. This package will help you get all the necessary files installed, provides Laravel-specific helpers needed for testing, and gives you an example spec to demonstrate how to write end-to-end tests with Playwright:

test('Can create a new user and log them in', async ({ page }) => {
    const user1 = await login({ page })
    expect(user1.name).toBeDefined()
    const user2 = await login({ page, attributes: { email: 'yoann@web-id.fr' } })
    expect(user2.name).toEqual('Yoann')
    const user3 = await login({
        page,
        attributes: { email: 'new@user.fr', name: 'New user' },
    })
    expect(user3.email).toEqual('new@user.fr')
})

Depending on which Node package manager you are using in you project, you'll need to install Playwright using the npm init command:

# NPM
npm init playwright@latest

# Yarn
yarn create playwright

# PNPM
pnpm create playwright
