# Playwright with TypeScript/JavaScript: Getting Started

## Introduction
Welcome to this tutorial on getting started with Playwright using TypeScript/JavaScript. In this video, we'll cover the basics of setting up your environment, writing your first test, and running it successfully.

## Prerequisites
- Basic knowledge of JavaScript/TypeScript
- Node.js installed on your machine
- A code editor (e.g., VS Code)

## Step 1: Setting Up the Environment

1. **Install Node.js**: Ensure you have Node.js installed. You can download it from [nodejs.org](https://nodejs.org/).
2. **Create a New Project**: Open your terminal and create a new directory for your project.
   ```bash
   mkdir playwright-tutorial
   cd playwright-tutorial
   ```
3. **Initialize npm**: Run the following command to initialize a new npm project.
   ```bash
   npm init -y
   ```
4. **Install Playwright**: Install Playwright as a dev dependency.
   ```bash
   npm install --save-dev @playwright/test
   ```

## Step 2: Writing Your First Test

1. **Create a Test File**: Create a new file named `example.spec.ts` in your project directory.
2. **Write a Simple Test**: Add the following code to your test file.
   ```typescript
   import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test';

   test('Basic Test', async ({ page }) => {
     await page.goto('https://example.com');
     const title = await page.title();
     expect(title).toBe('Example Domain');
   }); 
   ```

## Step 3: Running Your Test

1. **Run the Test**: In your terminal, run the following command to execute your test.
   ```bash
   npx playwright test
   ```
2. **View the Results**: Playwright will generate a report in the `test-results` directory. Open the `index.html` file in your browser to view the results.

## Conclusion
Congratulations! You've successfully set up Playwright with TypeScript/JavaScript and written your first test. Stay tuned for more advanced tutorials on Playwright.
