JSHandle.evaluateHandle

JSHandle.evaluateHandle() method

This method passes this handle as the first argument to pageFunction.

Signature:

class JSHandle {
  evaluateHandle<
    Params extends unknown[],
    Func extends EvaluateFunc<[this, ...Params]> = EvaluateFunc<
      [this, ...Params]
    >
  >(
    pageFunction: Func | string,
    ...args: Params
  ): Promise<HandleFor<Awaited<ReturnType<Func>>>>;
}

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
pageFunction	Func | string
args	Params

Returns:

Promise<HandleFor<Awaited<ReturnType<Func>>>>

Remarks

The only difference between jsHandle.evaluate and jsHandle.evaluateHandle is that jsHandle.evaluateHandle returns an in-page object (JSHandle).

If the function passed to jsHandle.evaluateHandle returns a Promise, then evaluateHandle.evaluateHandle waits for the promise to resolve and returns its value.

See Page.evaluateHandle() for more details.
