 Configuration
=============

###  On this page

1. [ Switching drivers per screenshot ](#content-switching-drivers-per-screenshot)
2. [ Using a custom driver instance ](#content-using-a-custom-driver-instance)

This package supports multiple screenshot drivers. You can set the default driver via the `LARAVEL_SCREENSHOT_DRIVER` environment variable:

```
LARAVEL_SCREENSHOT_DRIVER=browsershot
```

Or in the config file:

```
// config/laravel-screenshot.php

return [
    'driver' => 'browsershot', // or 'cloudflare'
    // ...
];
```

Switching drivers per screenshot
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can switch drivers for a specific screenshot using the `driver()` method:

```
use Spatie\LaravelScreenshot\Facades\Screenshot;

Screenshot::url('https://example.com')
    ->driver('cloudflare')
    ->save('screenshot.png');
```

Using a custom driver instance
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can also pass a driver instance directly:

```
use Spatie\LaravelScreenshot\Drivers\BrowsershotDriver;
use Spatie\LaravelScreenshot\Facades\Screenshot;

$driver = new BrowsershotDriver([
    'chrome_path' => '/usr/bin/google-chrome',
]);

Screenshot::url('https://example.com')
    ->setDriver($driver)
    ->save('screenshot.png');
```
