Galen Framework ported to TypeScript with Playwright support

[kushneryk]

Hi,

I've created a TypeScript port of Galen Framework that uses Playwright instead of Selenium:

https://github.com/kushneryk/galen-ts

What it does

• Full implementation of the Galen Spec Language (.gspec files)
• All spec types: width, height, above, below, inside, near, aligned, centered, text, css, image, count, component, etc.
• All directives: @objects, @set, @groups, @import, @on, @if/@elseif/@else, @forEach/@for, @rule, @script
• Validation engine with geometric calculations
• HTML, JSON, and JUnit report generation
• Test suite runner with parallel execution
• 491 tests passing

Why

• Galen Framework hasn't been updated since 2017
• Selenium is being replaced by Playwright in most projects
• TypeScript/Node.js ecosystem is where most frontend testing happens today
• npm install instead of Java setup

Usage

import { Galen } from 'galen-ts';
import { chromium } from 'playwright';

const browser = await chromium.launch();
const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.goto('https://example.com');

const report = await Galen.checkLayout(page, './specs/home.gspec');

Same .gspec files, same spec language — just Playwright instead of Selenium.

Would love any feedback from the community.
