feat(function): resolve page methods when the snippet asks for them - #950
Conversation
`extendPage` can only carry values decided before the snippet starts, so
anything it might read had to be produced up front, on every run, whether
or not it reached that method.
`hostPage` attaches methods the host resolves at the moment they are
called:
createFunction(({ page }) => page.content(), {
hostPage: { content: () => fetchThePage(url) }
})
Nothing is serialized into the isolate. The call travels over the
`isolated-function` channel when the snippet makes it, so a snippet that
returns without touching `page` resolves nothing, and neither does a
branch it does not take:
async ({ page }) => (false ? await page.content() : 'skipped')
That last case is the one static inspection cannot answer, because
whether the call happens is only known at runtime.
A `hostPage` key satisfies its method exactly as an `extendPage` key
does, so `needsBrowser` sees both and a snippet reading only these still
skips Chromium. Both kinds can sit on the same page; host methods are
applied first so an eager value with the same name wins, matching the
existing precedence where extendPage shadows a real page method.
Requires isolated-function 0.2.10 for the channel.
8 tests, including the untaken branch, the coexistence of both kinds, and
that a host method never reaches `pageValues`.

- Around line 159-162: Update both hostPage examples using createFunction in the
README to retain and invoke the returned callable, awaiting its result so the
examples demonstrate their documented outcomes and whether fetchThePage runs.
- Line 165: Update both README statements that say nothing is serialized for
host methods: clarify that the methods remain on the host, while arguments and
results cross the channel and must use values supported by its serializer. Keep
the existing contrast with extendPage accurate.

…annel Both examples built a function and never called it, so neither produced the result its comment claimed. They now await the call, and the output was checked by running them: the first resolves the html with one host call, the second returns "skipped" with none. "Nothing is serialized into the isolate" was wrong about the part that matters. The method stays on the host, but its arguments and its result do cross the channel and have to be values the channel can carry, which is why a BigInt rejects the call rather than resolving it.

A non-function hostPage value counted as a stub and then failed inside the snippet. Reject it at setup, and leave a name that extendPage also defines off the channel so only the eager value is reachable. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>

Assigning that name sets the host object's prototype instead of storing a method, so the key disappears. Reject it before the assignment. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
Why
extendPagecan only carry values decided before the snippet starts, so anything it might read had to be produced up front, on every run, whether or not it reached that method.hostPageattaches methods the host resolves at the moment they are called:fetchThePageruns because the snippet awaitedcontent.What it buys
Measured against a host that counts its calls, with
getBrowserlessthrowing so a started browser would fail the test:() => 420[]async ({ page }) => (await page.content()).length["content"]async ({ page }) => (await page.metadata()).title["metadata"]async ({ page }) => (false ? await page.content() : "skipped")[]The last row is the point. Whether that call happens is only knowable at runtime, so static inspection of the source has to assume it does and resolve up front. The channel resolves nothing.
How it fits the existing page
Nothing is serialized into the isolate.
extendPageJSON values still travel aspageValuesand becomeasync () => value; ahostPagemethod becomes a call over theisolated-functionchannel instead:A
hostPagekey satisfies its method exactly as anextendPagekey does, soneedsBrowsersees both and a snippet reading only these still skips Chromium. Both kinds can sit on the same page; host methods are applied first, so an eager value with the same name wins — matching the existing precedence whereextendPageshadows a real page method.Additive throughout: without
hostPage, every generated program is byte-identical to before and no channel is opened.Dependency
isolated-function~0.2.8to~0.2.10, which is where the channel lands (#83). Worth knowing the symptom if anyone runs an older one locally: the lazy calls fail with an empty error object rather than anything descriptive, because the option is simply ignored.Tests
8 new, 96 passing in the package,
standardclean. Beyond the table above: ahostPagekey satisfiesneedsBrowserwhile an unprovided method still requires a browser, a host method never reachespageValues, and eager and host-backed methods coexist on one page.Scope
