Implementation Reference
- src/index.ts:501-517 (handler)Handler implementation for the 'type_text' tool. Validates input with TypeTextSchema, then uses Playwright's currentPage.fill() to input the text into the specified selector.
case 'type_text': { if (!currentPage) { throw new Error('No browser page available. Launch a browser first.'); } const params = TypeTextSchema.parse(args); await currentPage.fill(params.selector, params.text); return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: `Typed "${params.text}" into element: ${params.selector}` } ] }; } - src/index.ts:33-37 (schema)Zod schema defining the input parameters for the type_text tool: selector (string), text (string), delay (number, default 100ms). Note: delay is not used in the handler.
const TypeTextSchema = z.object({ selector: z.string(), text: z.string(), delay: z.number().default(100) }); - src/index.ts:196-218 (registration)Tool registration in the ListTools response, defining name, description, and inputSchema matching the Zod schema.
